Monmouthshire Canal Towpath

Highlight • River

Really pleasant shared path. Surface is generally good, a mix of hardback gravel and tarmac. It is a shared path, so be nice - it's a great route for a chilled leisurely ride.

Usk Bridge

Highlight • Monument

The old red sandstone bridge was built between 1746 and 1747. It has five arches and was widened in 1836-7, although it might not feel like it if traffic is busy! If you opt for the footpath, please dismount.

B4293 Climb from Chepstow to Devauden

Highlight • Viewpoint

Rode this in Aug 21 up to Devauden (not down to Chepstow), a steady climb with gorgeous views of nearby valleys and the distant Brecons. Nothing desperately steep and the tarmac is not too bad either!

Tree-Lined Road Towards Devauden

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Resurfaced road a smooth rolling strip of tarmac through the forest. It's beautiful in autumn with all the colours or amazing in spring as the forest starts to grow again!

Wisteria Flowers on Stone Wall

Highlight • Structure

This was in May after lots of rain, it obviously stood out while I enjoyed my Scotch Egg snack. The ideal food for long bike rides.
