Limestone has had a major influence on the area south of Crickhowell - we explore its effects.
Old limekilns, a cholera cemetery, ancient cairns, limestone quarries and tramroads - just some of the features we see on the way to and from the Lonely Shepherd. A fairly steep ascent through fields for the first hour or so, then a fairly gentle ascent over rough moorland to the peak of Twr Pen-cyrn. All downhill from there on!
