    Not one for the weekend but will get you from Newport into the Brecons in no time at all. Either take the canal all the way to Brecon for the north ascent of the Gap, or turn left at Talybont for the Blaen-y-glyn climbs, or get off at Abergavenny for the Black Mountains. Gravel bike recommended but doable on 25mm tyres in the dry, at least as far as Gilwern.

    Lovely spot to stop have a quick rest and enjoy the view and calmness.

    Very narrow in places and shared with pedestrians, so take it easy!
