Starting at Llanfoist Crossing Car Park, this picturesque trail travels high above the Clydach Gorge, from Llanfoist, just to the south-west of Abergavenny, to Brynmawr. It takes in breath-taking views of the Clydach Gorge Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Brecon Beacons and the Sugar Loaf and Skirrid Mountains.
Look out for the remains of an industrial age highlighted by mining and quarrying ruins and incredible railway structures as well as the wildlife that has taken them over including peregrine falcons. Once in Brynmawr riders can travel west along the Heads of the Valleys, National Cycle Network Route 492 towards Blaenavon from where there are only spectacular views.
