This walk is in the past.
After the long nights of winter, we're back on the trail for spring! This is part 2 of 8 of the iconic Beacons Way, which crosses some of the most stunning landscapes in Wales. We'll start at Llanthony Priory, crossing three of the four main ridges of the Black Mountains on our way westwards to the lovely village of Crickhowell via the hamlet of Partrishow. On the way, we'll visit Garn Wen cairn and the "Stone of Vengeance", said to mark the spot of the assassination of Richard de Clare in 1135.
Spaces will be limited to 30 people (due to the linear nature of the walk and the need to car share), so please do contact me and I'll add you to the list. We'll be departing from the Water Tower in Clifton at 8am. This will be a fairly long day, so pack plenty of food and snacks, your waterproofs and sufficient warm clothing as it can get pretty exposed up on the ridges! However, it's well worth the effort for the stunning views, history and nature. Pub in Crickhowell to finish.
Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.
