Title: On the Black mountains today Post by: benny on November 07, 2010, 06:53:48 PM Had us a day walking up the Black mountains today,calling in to Llanthony Priory on the way back for a look round,then popped into the Skirrid Inn for a pint afterwards.
Anyone ever searched near to these areas? Title: Re: On the Black mountains today Post by: dances with badgers on November 07, 2010, 07:08:19 PM apparently there be roman roads up there.keep meaning to go have a dig but always end up goin to dig beaches instead.
