A chance to explore the highs and lows around Crickhowell. The climb up Table Mountain is via the lovely and secluded Cwm Cumbeth and then on open hillside up further to Pen Cerrig-calch (the highest point of the day). From the trig point there is a little rough walking across moorland to pick up a track which takes us down off the hills and then along lanes and tracks to return via the Glanusk Estate and the canal, crossing the River Usk at the lowest point of the walk.
