WALKS STARTING IN AND RETURNING TO USK

Printed, laminated A5 cards showing the walk routes, along with relevant photographs, are available at £1.00 each and can be ordered by completing the easy-to-use Order Form. The walks can also be ordered more cheaply in digital format (PDF files) by completing the alternative Order Form. There is a range of prices which reduce as the ordered quantity increases.

The walks are checked from time to time and the itineraries revised as necessary. The Editor cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the itineraries as a result of changes (such as footpath closure or re-routing or removal of stiles etc) which occur in the meantime.

My definition of "dog friendly" is that there are no stiles or restricted kissing gates; obviously if your dog is small and can be lifted over stiles, then all the walks are dog friendly.

See a map showing the areas covered by the walks.

All the walks commence in and return to Twyn Square (see map below) where there are two pubs serving food. There is also a small car park here. Although walking boots are generally advisable, particularly for the support they give the ankles, they are not necessary on some of these walks. Where boots are necessary for rough or muddy ground, it is specifically mentioned. Walk 20, though arduous, is probably the most rewarding in terms of the variety of landscape.

The Editor will be grateful for any corrections or comments about unclear directions from people who have followed any of these walks. Click here if you would like to submit your review of one of the above walks. A review of Walk 15 or Walk 20 would be particularly appreciated.

Should you wish to have a guided walk, either due to concerns about getting lost or simply for interesting company, the Editor may be able to oblige. A small fee, which is negotiable according to the size of the party, will be applied. Expert bird identification will be included if of interest.
