This is a long walk mainly on quiet lanes, with some climbing.
There is 1 pub on the route (apart from those in Usk itself).

Leave the town square by the south east corner and proceed along Four Ash Street. Pass the former Greyhound Inn (now a house) and continue on Chepstow Road. Turn right at the Olway Inn Hotel.

Continue along the lane, crossing above the dual carriageway. At the crossroads (where the Flood Route is signposted) turn right. Follow this to Llanllowell and turn left on the main road. After about half a mile pass the Greyhound Inn (which serves excellent food, especially the fried fish).

Continue straight on at the junction where Caerleon and Llantrisant are signposted right. Take the second lane on the left at a bend where Cycle Route 42 is signposted straight on. Follow this uphill, passing a house called Ty-Gatta, to Fernhill Farm and continue on a track between 2 hedges (there is a dead end sign at this point). Where this track swings left into a field (just after a wooden shed (old railway van) on the left), take the path straight ahead between 2 hedges. Descend a muddy section and follow the shallow stream for 40 yards before climbing again. Continue through a deep gulley, then with a line of trees on the left and a hedge on the right.

Llewelyn's Dingle

Turn left on a lane and at the next junction follow the lane to the left and continue through the hamlet. Turn left at the T-junction and in the next hamlet (Coed Cwnwr), follow the road round to the left (where there is a postbox).

Follow this down the beautiful valley called Llewelyn's Dingle. Turn right at the T-junction and go under the dual carriageway.

Opposite St Llywel's Church in Llanllowell, take
the lane on the right (signposted Usk Flood Route).
Follow this for 1 mile and turn left at the crossroads (signposted Usk Flood Route).

Follow this to the T-junction by the Olway Inn Hotel and turn left. Follow the road back to the town square.
