Keeper’s Pond sits high on the shoulder of the Blorenge, an old ironworkers’ reservoir that is now a favourite spot to park up and walk. The water reflects the surrounding moorland, with long views out towards Abergavenny and the Sugar Loaf. Open access, straight off the mountain road. Abergavenny station is about 6km to the east.
