Overview

We start from a lay-by near Itton Common (contact walk leader for directions if going to walk start), walking over Itton Common to Shirenewton via Mynydd-bach and Llanmelin Hillfort.  The route continues through the scenic valley, The Cwm, and returns to the start via fields and roads, offering good views over the Bristol Channel.  There is 1300 feet of climb over the whole route with one steep, tricky descent from Llanmelin Hillfort (poles advised).  There is a fair bit of road walking on quiet country lanes and a quantity of stiles.
