An updated version of a walk last held in November 2020, which links together three Grade I listed churches looked after by the Friends of the Friendless Churches - St Jeromes at Llangwm Uchaf, St Michael & All Angels, Gwernesney; &, St David's, Llangeview. A bonus visit to St Aeddan's at Bettws Newydd (currently under repair) - also Grade I listed & home to one of the oldest Yew trees in Britain. The churches are also currently part of an art trail. Graded as hard with 3000 feet of ascent

General Notes
The walk is in a very rural area, with many seldom used paths. This means there are lots of stiles (several awkward), locked gates to climb, an irrigation ditch to hurdle & other impediments - fun if you like that sort of thing. Not suitable for dogs or shorts!
