A circular walk from Pantygelli with the option of lunch at The Crown Inn. We ascend the Deri and walk under the shadow of Sugar Loaf before dropping down to Forest Coal Pit. A quiet road takes us past the chapel before we climb up Bryn Arw. This is a fine ridge, seldom visited, with fine views of Skirrid and across to Herefordshire. At the end of the ridge we descend steeply to Cwm Brynarw then follow field paths back to Pantygelli.

DIRECTIONS TO START
From CRiC, take the A40 to Abergavenny. Go straight on at the roundabout towards the town centre. After a mile or so you will go round a sharp left hand bend with the War Memorial and Tesco on your right. Turn sharp left here up Pen y Pound. At the traffic light take the right hand fork, Old Hereford Road. Follow this out of Abergavenny up the hill and after about 2 miles The Crown is on your left.
Parking is free but limited so we advise walkers to car-share where possible. Please park at the far end of the car park away from the pub.
