Walk description: We start the walk at the layby on the A470 (just before the turning to Garwnant centre). We follow the nature trail along the reservoir. Then turn onto the road bridge and pass Garwnant centre. We then take a meandering path beside the river into the forest. We stop for lunch at the top of the hill and continue on the forest paths onto farmland with views. We pass an old farm and follow a narrow lane, before crossing the weir and following the nature trail back to the layby.

Walk description: From the Maryport Street North Car Park we head out of Usk in a north easterly direction passing Usk Castle. The route takes us through farmland and woods until we drop back down to walk alongside the River Usk. After walking a short distance through Usk we cross the bridge and walk in a westerly direction through farmland and skirting Pant y Cwcw Wood. We cross the bridge once again and retrace our steps to the car park. Following the recent heavy rain there are muddy sections to the walk and the use of walking poles is advised. Due to livestock and game bird feeding areas throughout the majority of the route dogs will need to be kept on a short lead. There are 6 well maintained stiles, with dog gates, on the route.
