Sugar Loaf

The easiest route is from the main car park which is approached by a narrow road from the Vineyard. Exercise care as there are some fairly long stretches without passing places. The view of the Usk Valley from the car park is stunning and a good place to bring visitors who can’t walk very far. The walk from there is easy at first and finishes with a steep climb to reach the summit. ALTERNATIVE: - You can also do the : Sugar Loaf circuit
