Sadly by-passed by the national cycleroute and footpath but hardly visitor proof. The railway here was the defunct Merthyr, Tredegar & Abergavenny Railway which ran up this gorge between 1862 and 1958. Just one of several amazing early engineering feats accomplished to enable the railway to run here.
