Enjoy more than 70 circular walks across the county, ranging from 1 mile town trails to 14 mile cross country routes.

A walk up the Blorenge
We get many visitors looking to walk to the Blorenge - Taking approximately 4 hours to walk, this route is fairly moderate in terms of difficulty. There are no toilets at this location however there are some in the neighbouring towns of Blaenavon and Abergavenny. The same can be said for refreshments, there are cafes and pubs that you can stop at for lunch in Blaenavon and Abergavenny. However, there is always an ice cream truck parked opposite the Keepers Pond where you can get yourself a tasty treat and a drink! See our blog for details of this walk.
