This is a circular walk that can either be treated as a separate walk or can be combined with Part One to give a 18Km, 12mile circuit of the major sites of the Blaenavon Industrial Landscape World Heritage Site. Both parts of the trail start from Pen-ffordd-goch Pond Car Park (locally known as Keeper’s Pond) at SO 254 197.  There are other car parks, indicated in red in the route description with their locations marked on the plan; these car parks can also be used as your starting point if you wish, as the route description takes this into account. Parts of the trail cross open mountain and rocky areas so please ensure you have warm and waterproof clothing. Good walking boots or shoes are essential.
