Up the Tumble and round Sugar Loaf mountain

Leaving Llanfoist along the old railway line we then join the road climbing the Tumble. After the summit we descend into Blaenavon. We then join the cycle route up through the industrial estate and alongside the Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway line, finally descending into Brynmawr. From here we head to Llangattock and into Crickhowell for lunch. We then circumnavigate the Sugar Loaf back to Abergavenny and finishing in Llanfoist.

This is a challenging hilling ride up the Tumble, passing through post-industrial landscape and very pretty countryside near Abergavenny. The views are spectacular and worth the climb!

Mostly minor roads and country lanes. There is some grass and poor road surface in places

We will stop at the top of the Tumble for photos and a breather! We will stop in Crickhowell for lunch.

Please bring a snack with you, this is a challenging ride and the lunch stop is over half way on the ride.

We never leave anyone behind
