We are the Pontypool Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

After climbing a rocky path to the Church of St Elli the route ascends gently mainly across open fields to Waun Watkin. After contouring along the lane of the Hafod for about a mile we reach the curious broad rock column of Tom Thumb from which there are impressive views of the Clydach Gorge. Descent to the River Clydach is followed by a delightful wooded riverside path back to the canal and starting point at Gilwern.
Pre-booking requested. Please message walk leader, Peter Hulme (07375 639331).
Canal-side parking off Church Road, Gilwern (Free). Take A4077 Crickhowell - Gilwern Road & turn uphill opposite Corn Exchange.
