Incredible Views Over South Wales

Sugar Loaf Mountain, one of the highest peaks in the the Black Mountains, stands at 596 metres. Its volcano shape dominates the skyline of the surrounding countryside, providing a spectacular backdrop for the pretty town of Abergavenny.
 
We take on an 8 mile circular trek around a wonderful route with spectacular views over the Black Mountains & Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons).

We ascend through stunning moss covered woodland and climb beautiful coloured Heather and Bracken covered slopes. Home to Skylarks, House Martins, Swallows, Red Grouse, Buzzards and Red Kites, this is a true haven for upland wildlife. 

Having taken in the magnificent views from the Sugar Loaf's mighty summit, we descend through beautiful Oak woodlands of St Mary’s Vale and the Cibi Valleys, that stretch for miles between the mountain ridges of Llanwenarth, Deri and Rholben.


We only regret opportunities we don't take
