Twyn Square

Turn left out of the town square and walk along the main road to the bridge over the river. Take the path called "Conigar Walk" down to the riverbank just before the bridge.

(See a photo of a commemorative plaque giving the history of the bridge and another explaining the origin of "Conigar Walk".)

The hamlet of Llancayo

Just after the heavily wooded section you will pass a green barn (built by Morgans of Usk) and a footpath sign, both on the left. Turn immediately left into a narrow lane marked as "Unsuitable for heavy goods vehicles". There is a white cottage at this corner. Go up the long hill and follow the lane round to the right at the point where there is a sign for Walnut Tree Cottage.

After a few minutes follow the lane round to the right, passing 3 connected corrugated iron sheds. Go downhill and at the bottom follow the lane round to the left, ignoring a small track on the left where "Cherry Tree" is signposted.

Turn left at the T-junction and climb the hill. Just after the Gwehelog Methodist Chapel (built in 1822) take the right turn at the crossroads.

The Hall Inn, Gwehelog

Follow the lane round to the left just after Ty-Gwyn Farm. Turn right on the main road near the Hall Inn. (A good selection of meals can be had here.)

Turn left opposite the Hall Inn and, after passing a few houses, follow the lane to the left (Ty-Freeman Road). Go down the steep hill. Follow the lane to the right after passing a yellow gravel bin.
