The route changes from raised embankment to railway cuttings, crossing several
bridges with fantastic views of the local countryside. The initial 3 miles/5km from
Llanfoist to near Gilwern is surfaced with tarmac. Information boards can be found
along the route.
How to get there: The route starts at the Llanfoist Crossing car park (NP7 9LP) on the
B4246 Merthyr Rd at the western edge of Llanfoist. There is a large gap next to the wide
entrance gate which allows wheelchair access.
