Great cruise down into Abergavenny for coffee!

Lovely ride seeing around the Clydach ironworks

better in the daytime but well lit at night.

one of the most interesting bike paths with many beautiful places

Beautiful place to be.

Nice place for cycling

Great ride, can get tight with height and width on some bridges but in all a mostly paved cycle through Cwmbran with light gravel down to Newport and up past Pontypool, I’d recommend carrying a spare inner tube or have slime tubes installed and spare as sometimes the odd bramble is on the track after trimming!

Mostly tarmac

go on the canal in the week..much quieter.

The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal links up a small network of canals, running 35 navigable miles (56km) through the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park for the majority of its length.

evidence of railway platforms and steps to the platforms still exist

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.

Can be very muddy off track but offering some great views of local habitats and wildlife Birdlife abounds, aside from the obvious resident waterbirds, recent highlights include Grey and Pied Wagtails, Buzzards, Red Kite, Sparrowhawk, Stock Dove, Raven, Jay, Kingfisher (mostly just flying through) Nuthatch and Greenfinch, Chaffinch with Swifts, Swallows, House and Sand Martins foraging. Insect life very good as expected. The adjacent Ty Coch woodland is worth visiting but on foot only, looking out over the open fields and copses to the South and West can be productive for more unusual species like Kestrel and Pergrine foraging or passing through.

Great place for a snack and a coffee

Along with some magnificent views the end place Goytre Wharf definitely worth visiting
