Dist:0.4km north<br/>Path (mostly a stream) down the side of Black Hill, then through farmland into the Monnow Valley.

Dist:0.7km north<br/>A stone shelter on the road from Longtown to Hay on Wye. The road to the right drops down to cross the River Monnow.

Dist:0.8km east<br/>Taken from the crossroads NNW of Goods Farm. Looking towards Black Hill - an outlying glaciated ridge to the east of the main ridge used by the Offas Dyke path. The lower slopes of Hay bluff can just be seen to the right of Black Hill.

Dist:0.9km southwest<br/>High valley in the Black Mountains, sheltered under the long Cat's Back ridge and Black Hill. Despite the common belief in metropolitan circles, this is England, and the roof of the South.

Dist:0.9km southwest<br/>The start of the common above the picnic place and car park. A pleasant ridge and fine approach to the highest land in Southern England and the Herefordshire county top, just visible in the distance across the Vale of Olchon.
©Richard Webb
Dist:1.0km southwest<br/>Same place as [[47277]] but different season and weather. Very nice walk but you are straight into climbing.
©Hugh Venables
Dist:1.1km west<br/>Miles of rolling Herefordshire farmland from the only Black Mountains ridge wholly in England.
©Trevor Rickard
Dist:1.1km south<br/>This is the point where the road becomes a track - steep, rocky and flowing with water.
©Denis Garner
Dist:1.2km southwest<br/>From the foot of Black Hill with the car park on the saddle between the two.
©Trevor Rickard
Dist:1.2km northeast<br/>Looking along the old track through the meadow to the coppice. Close to Michaelchurch Court.
©Bob Embleton
Dist:1.2km west<br/>From the Cat's Back ridge.
©Trevor Rickard
Dist:1.3km southwest<br/>Recently refurbished farmhouse, but many more buildings in the valley abandoned.
©Hugh Venables
Dist:1.3km west<br/>Narrow sandstone ridge, quite unusual for the Black Mountains. One of the easiest walks to over the 2000' contour anywhere.
©Richard Webb
Dist:1.4km northwest<br/>The western side of the valley still has some lying snow. Beyond the eastern side is in sunshine and the snow has melted.
