From Crickhowell we cross the river, walk through the beech wood, over the canal and ascend a stony track to Wern Watkin bunkhouse. Then up another track to see the Lonely Shepherd and hear his story. We walk below the old quarry workings and grassy spoil heaps before descending to the Beaufort Road and across fields to the canal which we follow round a couple of bends. Then we return past Llangattock church and across the river to Crickhowell.
