National Trust - Sugarloaf and Usk Valley
Scenic spot
👍👍 Steep single lane road, complete with hair pins to get to Glyn Tyrrel carpark. From there it is a not too difficult walk up to the base of the summit. The last part to the summit is steep but walkable. From there you can continue further along the ridge. About an hour from Glyn Tyrrel car park to th...

We took the steep route up and the easier route on our way back down. Total time with breaks/lunch 3hrs. Beautiful views and super happy we got to see Pen y Fan.
The peak itself was...

The Filling Station Cafe
Cafe
👍👍 Just had the nicest cup of coffee in about 6 years from this place.
I knew it would be good when I was asked how strong I wanted it, on a scale of 1-10…
We also picked up some ice cream from The Hub, across the road, which is part of the same cafe.
Flavours were lovely.
Can’t recommend it more

Eagle's Nest
Tourist attraction
👍👍 If you have a dog it’s better to use the Upper car park. It’s a fairly easy walk to the Eagles Nest view point. The views are probably the best in the area.
The 365-steps aren’t suitable for dogs but the alternative route around the fields is an easy ramble. Prepare to lift dogs over scissor stiles...
