A classic walk over Table Mountain. We climb steadily out of Crickhowell and into green meadows, a hillside copse and open moorland to reach the summit of Table Mountain with its Iron Age heritage. We take our lunch on or close to the summit, with shelter from the wind on one side or the other and with sweeping views over Crickhowell and the Usk valley. Then we cross the moorland to descend the wooded valley of Cwm Cumbeth and return to CRiC past the Church, the High Street and the Castle.
