This walk has one long steep climb and offers excellent views from the hills to the east of Usk.

Leave the town square by the south east corner and proceed along Four Ash Street. Pass the former Greyhound Inn and continue on Chepstow Road. Turn right at The Olway Inn Hotel on to Red Hill. Climb the short hill and continue along the lane, crossing the dual carriageway. At the crossroads (where the Flood Route is signposted in other directions) go straight up the narrow lane. After about 150 metres ignore the parallel track on the right, which goes to a house.

At "Graig-Yr-Ieir" house (the white house at the end of the lane), take the narrow muddy track up the hill, through Mardy Hill Wood. At the top follow the track with a field to the left and a hedge to the right. (There are splendid views from here across to the hills surrounding Abergavenny.) On reaching a footpath post on the left, to the left of 2 metal gates (just before a house on the right), cross the stile on the left and follow the signposted direction diagonally across the field to a stile about half way along the conifer plantation.

Go straight on, downhill, at the field edge, with a
wood (Newhouse Wood) on the left, passing 4 yellow-topped marker posts. At the bottom corner of the field bear slightly left between a few trees, passing 2 more yellow-topped marker posts. Keep to the left of the field, passing another yellow-topped marker post, and head slightly right to a stile.

Cross the next field, keeping the hedge to the left, and cross the stile at the bottom. (St David's Church is straight ahead.) Turn left on the lane and right at the crossroads (signposted Usk). Follow this to the T-junction by The Olway Inn and turn left. Follow the road back to the town square.
