About

Gilwern and Llanfoist sit in the Usk valley in Monmouthshire, close together along the river corridor. The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal runs through Gilwern, its towpath used for walking and fishing and following the line where small streams join the main river. Gilwern occupies the lower end of the Clydach Gorge, and traces of the area’s industrial past can be seen in old stonework and field patterns that meet the valley floor.

Llanfoist lies beside the River Usk and has a parish church that anchors the village near the waterside. Local lanes and footpaths climb from the riverside into farmland and woodlands on the slopes above the valley, linking homes, a primary school, and small shops. The relationship between river, road and canal shapes everyday movement here: boats and anglers on the canal, walkers on the towpath, and river crossings that mark the route through the village. The result is a place defined by its waterways and the lines they cut through the valley.
