Senni Valley Circuit
Heol Senni Village Hall, Tycanol Senni Powys LD3 8SU, Brecon, GBWhat a day hiking! We make a circular route around the gorgeous Senni Valley.
Starting at Heol Senni Village Hall (parking charge of £5 per vehicle) we follow the Roman Road, Sarn Helen, uphill, past the uber picturesque hanging valley, past Maen Llia, a huge singular megalith, before heading onto the side of Fan Nedd.
Then it's up and an exploration of the abandoned Senni Quarry before downhill and back to the start point.
15km and 500m of ascent, so a tough-ish day on paper but with the ascents in the main gentle. A day that has so much beauty and interest you'll agree it was all worth it :)
Walking boots, layers, waterproofs and a good packed lunch are essential.
Wales Outdoors can hire boots, packs and trekking poles - https://www.walesoutdoors.co.uk/shop

Aberbeeg And Llanhilleth Common
Llanhilleth Railway Station, Commercial Rd, Llanhilleth, Abertillery NP13 2HT, llanhilleth, GBIf you want to be surprised by the beauty of a post industrial landscape then this is the hike for you! Aberbeeg happens to be Andy's go to when promoting the Gwent Valleys and then there is so much more of interest on this hike.
Beginning at Llanhilleth, the route trends upwards and then towards Llanhilleth Common, stopping for an exploration of 'Blue Lagoon'. Then it's downhill, skirting Abertillery and picking up a riverside trail that takes us through Aberbeeg, past 'The Guardian' and back to the start point.
This is an easier walk with 14km and 325m of ascent, allowing for plenty of stops and exploration along the way.

Wye Valley Wander
Woods of Whitchurch , Old Monmouth road, HR9 6DJ,, Ross-on-Wye, GBKing Arthur's Wye Valley Walk is a 13km day with 300m of ascent and is over some rough, muddy and broken ground, but in the main is on good footpaths and tracks, and so is doable by most, although some feel pretty tired at the end of the day.
This walk was designed by Wales Outdoors and takes in the highlights and using lesser-known paths. King Arthur's Cave, Symmonds Yat, Biblin's Wibbly Wobbly Bridge, an Iron Age hill fort said to be the last camp of King Vortigen... all of these will be explored, and of course the magnificent River Wye too.
We have been delivering walks at this location for over thirty years and our knowledge of the area, its industrial heritage and its natural environments will be ours to share with you!
