This walk is in the past.
Because I've gotten itchy feet already after leading the Cotswold Way, I thought a new challenge might be in order! This is the first of 8 walks covering the relatively new 95 mile path over the Brecon Beacons National Park, the Beacons Way. This first section begins at Abergavenny railway station, and is a fairly challenging 13.5 mile/22km walk taking in two ascents, The Skirrid and Hatterall Hill. We'll be covering part of the famed Offa's Dyke path during this walk, before finishing up at the ruins of Llanthony Priory, a stunning 12th century abbey. We'll stop off at The Half Moon Inn in Llanthony for post-walk refreshments before we head home
This will be a more challenging walk than the Cotswold Way, as sections are generally longer, although we'll take plenty of breaks to take in the stunning views! Not every section will be a three boot walk, but this initial ramble will be a great introduction to walking the Beacons Way. Waterproofs, weather-appropriate clothing (e.g. layers) and snacks will be essential, and of course plenty of water!
Spaces will be limited to 30 people, and car shares will be available as this (naturally) is a linear walk. Meeting point details will be sent out the day before at the very latest, and please let me know if you have any questions!
This walk requires booking
