A 26 mile walk in the west of the former county of Gwent from the Aneurin Bevan Memorial, Tredegar to Tredegar House, Newport. The route follows the ridgeways and valley floors through three counties, mainly off road and never far from the Sirhowy or Ebbw Rivers or the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal (Crumlin Arm). The route has been extended from Tredegar House south eastwards to join the Wales Coast Path at Lighthouse Road and follows the Path on the Wentlooge Levels as far as West Usk Lighthouse.

The National Cycle Network is a network of cycle routes. It was created by the charity Sustrans Link

(Sustainable Transport), aided by a National Lottery grant. Many routes aim to minimise contact with motor traffic, though 70% of them are on roads. In some cases the NCN uses pedestrian routes, disused railways, minor roads, canal towpaths, or traffic-calmed routes in towns and cities.
