Walking

[stupot]

Hi, we have got a holiday ticket and would like to go exploring the local area on foot a bit, especially walking in the Beacons. Does anyone know any good walks form the Green Man site?

Cheers

There are lots depends what you want- strenuous or easy. The tourist centre in Crickhowell has detailed leaflets for about 50p . Table top mountain is good . A few hours and lovely views over the valley

Thanks a lot, will pop in there when we get down on Monday. Looking forward to seeing the countryside. ;D ;D

I'm doing the holiday ticket and I'm looking into a few walks too.

Am I right in thinking that one can walk from Glanusk park to Llandgnidr via a canal? It's a bit difficult to tell from the map I've got. Also does anyone no what sort of shops are in Llandnidr, as I'm goning to need some food stuffs.

[mojopearl]

When I say Llandgnidr I think I should be saying crickowell. But am I right in thinking that the bridge we see as we drive towards GM is Llandgnidr Bridge?

I'm getting confused, as someone today told be the Llandgnidr was a region.

There are quite a few shops in Crickhowell if i remember right theres a bakers/off licence/spar type grocery store/fish and chip shop/newsagent and plenty of pubs.

Thanks for info blackpumpkinhead. Does it take about an hour to walk?

[blackpumpkinhead]

About 30ish minutes there because its downhill and about 45minutes back uphill-----last year we got a taxi back with our beer/food and it came to about a fiver.

[mojopearl]

Although I like walking 30 ish minutes sounds alot better than an hour. Taxi is good idea too if we're loaded with food. I'm definatley getting excited about it all.

bear in mind that you'll be walking along a well used road without any pavements too

if you do it after dark, take a torch

mostly to point at yourself when you hear cars approaching
