The walk starts in the car park of silent valley nature reserve and traverses the hills either side of the Ebbw Vale valley. We head up the Cwm Alpine climb route and then drop down into the Tredegar valley and walk down the old railway route to Markham. Then back up to the top on the lanes and down the other side to Aberbeeg. We then head up onto the mountain on the other side of the valley looking down on Abertillery and circle the whole of the mountain up to West Monmouth golf course and then back through the nature reserve to the start point
