Don’t like to walk up hills?

Responding to requests from people who like sight-seeing but not long walks up hill, we give you our GENTLE series of events. In our event list below, the word GENTLE next to an event means it is an easy walk. Some GENTLE events may have one incline (where stated) but they are not long, hard climbs and we will gently stroll along. Enjoy!

Join our mailing list or follow us on Facebook to ensure you get notified of all events. We sometimes add surprise pop-up events.

The Llangattock Escarpment at the top, the River Usk below. Our walk takes us in between along a section of the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal. A beautiful sandwich filler!

Llangattock or Llangatwg dates back to neolithic times with a rich and interesting history.

SEE:

The Ancient Burial Chamber site and St Catwygs historical church.
There's the Lime Kilns and the Old Rectory, not to mention the quaint cottages of the older village itself.
Then there's the special and majestic Giant Redwood Tree on the Canal...one of Jan's favourites.
AS for people....St Catwyg, Sir Joseph Bailey Iron Master, Henry Vaughn poet and even the Marconi family and George Melly are said to have been here.
