About

The Sugarloaf dominates the skyline from Abergavenny is accessible off the main A40 road. The mountain is managed by the National Trust, the Sugarloaf is one of the highest peaks in Monmouthshire and offers fantastic walks & views overlooking Abergavenny.

The Sugarloaf mountain is a pretty easy out and back hike to the summit. The sugar loaf hike would be a great hike for beginners, as there are not any major cliffs and it's a nice short walk if you need to turn back.

Dark Skies / Stargazing

The limiting magnitude here is 6.10 and you enjoy a wide view over the south and west whilst avoiding much of the light pollution of the towns to the south.
