About the walk
Interesting mountain nestled in the enchanting Welsh landscape (just under 500m high) famous for its folks and legends! It has glorious views in every direction: Herefordshire and Malverns to the north, the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons to the west, Usk Valley and Somerset to the south and Gloucestershire and the Forest of Dean to the east. Moderate two hours hike (literally for everyone!)
Facilities Available
In a spooky Skirrid Inn nearby! Worth visiting 😃
Accessibility
Trail well marked! Start from a new car park on the Abergavenny to Skirrid road. From there the path winds steeply up through Pant Skirrid Wood and out onto the ridge, with gentler slopes leading up to the summit. Those wanting to really test themselves can scramble to the summit up the sheer north face of the mountain, while tracks through Pant Skirrid Wood offer a more relaxed pace.
Additional Notes
Why the submitter loves this walk
For its beautiful views onto Welsh mountains and countryside landscape. Ideal for a jog or a quick walk if you only have a couple of hours to spare. Also it's not too crowded.
