Most of the walk is alongside the banks of the picturesque River Usk that teems fish and is home to a host of wild life and water fowl, including otters, king fishers and heron. About halfway around is an excellent picnic spot by the old bridge at Abercynrig Mill on the banks of the River Cynrig. |
|
Towards the end the walk takes you over the Usk Bridge in Brecon town providing an excuse to ‘rest your feet and recover’ at the Boars Head pub that has an excellent selection of locally brewed ales and a patio overlooking the river. The walk is about 5 miles / 8 Km long, so allow around 3 hours excluding stops. A detailed route map and description, plus relevant OS Map, are available free for Bunkhouse residents to use. |
