Usk Trail Access Group Usk Trail Access Group - promoting and creating cycling and walking routes in Monmouthshire Feeling inspired?

The Usk Trail Access Group (UTAG) is a voluntary, community-led group set up to facilitate the creation of a safe, family-friendly and predominantly off-road cycle and leisure track from Usk to Little Mill. We are currently working with local stakeholders including Llanbadoc, Usk and county councils, other public bodies, private companies/individuals and landowners towards the agreement of a suita

ble route using a combination of disused railway lines, public and private paths and roads. Although there is still some way to go, we believe the far-reaching benefits of such a scheme in terms of extended cycling and leisure opportunities, transport advantages and tourism will ultimately provide an outstanding cycling and walking experience for local residents and visitors alike. If you feel you could help in any way, then please get in touch – we’re always looking for more volunteers!
