We are the Taff Ely Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
The walk visits three notable points in this area - The Revenge Stone, Garn Wen and Twyn y Gaer
The panoramic views when at the top are something not to be missed, on a clear day especially.
If used poles would be an advantage on the walk as there are 2 climbs which are easy to navigate. Gaiters will be needed if it has been raining on the run up to the walk as there are areas that may be muddy. This is a walk that is mainly forest track making it easy walking, moderate rating is the the climbs. There will be a short coffee break after the first climb, the lunch stop comes shortly after this where there will be a longer stop to take in the views.
Take the A470 heading for the heads of the valley road, from the Hardwick Roundabout on the eastern edge of Abergavenny, take the A465 towards Hereford. After 5 miles turn left for Llanvihangel Crucorney. Go past the Skirrid Inn and immediately turn left. At the bottom on the hill follow the road rond to the left and continue through Stanton to the Queens Head on your right. Just after the pub take the lane on your left, ( ignore the car park at the bottom on your right as you turn into the lane, this is for Queens Head patrons and does incur a fee or parking charge if not paid at the pub). About 500 meters up the hill on your right you will see a clearing in the trees where you will find the car park.
