Overview

Panoramic views over the gorge, walking partially along the old  railway line from Brynmawr to Abergavenny. We will walk through a old industrial area which includes taking in the view of the ancient beech trees. These were planted originally to be burnt for charcoal to fire the iron works at Clydach, coke replaced the wood  thus these trees survived. The return journey will take us along the  recently renovated tram road back to Brynmawr.
