A gentle first day up the Usk from the Roman fortress at Caerleon, through Llanhennock, Tredunnock and Llantrisant to the little town of Usk.
Distance: about 18 km (11 miles), one way, measured along the line on the map below.
The line follows waymarked footpaths and is a guide to the route, not a substitute for a proper map. Carry an Ordnance Survey map, check the weather before you set off and allow plenty of time.
