We're offering yet another Autumn programme of FREE guided walks exploring and enjoying the Blaenavon Heritage Landscape
The walks range in distance from 5 to 10 km (3 - 6 miles). They will be best for reasonably fit adults or older children, but we will try to accommodate people with mobility problems whenever possible.
The walks will start at 10.00 a.m. on the last Sunday of each month. Most will start from the Blaenavon World Heritage Centre, but some will start from other suitable locations, so keep a sharp eye open.
Please wear appropriate footwear and be prepared in case of wet weather.
If you'd like to be involved in leading or helping with our guided walks programme, why not join BWHEG and become part of the team?

Last Walk of the Season
Starting from the World Heritage Centre at 10.00 a.m.
"It’s A Long Way to the Whistle"
C
A walk of about 7.5 km (4½ miles), suitable for older children, but not recommended for people with limited mobility. This walk passes old coal and iron workings en route to The Whistle Inn, where a seasonal celebratory pint may be in order. We then descend the Garn Lakes path back to the World Heritage Centre.
There are a couple of steep ascents (and descents), and some parts can be quite muddy in wet weather, but on the whole it’s walkable with appropriate footwear etc.
Croesi Bysedd, the BWHEG Walks Programme will begin again in March 2026 – Keep your eyes peeled for details!
