Overview

Circular walk approx 9.5 miles with 1800 feet of ascent. Some challenging sections.

Expect around 5 hours of walking  plus snack and rest stops, so I suggest start at 8:45 from Aztec west  and leave Castle Street Car Park (NP7 5EE) in Abergavenny at 10:15. There are loos in Car Park others "wild wees" only.

Unsuitable for limited mobility and pets.

There are 2 steep uphill sections and a steep descent from the Sugar loaf. 

Some tracks some cycle path some paths and bridleways.

Poles recommended. Take adequate fluid and food.

If the ground conditions are poor the walk will be re-routed to avoid the steepest sections where the ground is likely to be muddy. This will mean the summit of Sugar Loaf is omitted.
