Debris from the flooding Usk

The Afon Wysg/River usk rises and falls rapidly in response to heavy rain. This field beside the A40 Abergavenny/Brecon road is littered with debris from earlier in the day when the swollen river extended across the full width of its floodplain. The Romans avoided flooding problems by building their road over the top of the hill known as Yr Allt in the background.

Cui Bridge kissing gate

This footpath leaves the road at Cui bridge and crosses farmland. The bridge itself is new in construction having replaced an earlier bridge. The signpost is in fact an interpretation panel, one of many, highlighting some of the work of a local poet Henry Vaughan- Come then, my God! Shine on this blood, And water in one beam, and thou shalt see, Kindled by thee, both liquors burn, and stream.
