STEPPING OUT BESIDE THE USK
Home to
the rare river
lamprey, a primitive,
jawless fish looking
quite like an eel,
the River Usk is
designated a Special
Area of Conservation
of European
importance.
Mae’r Afon
Wysg sy’n gartref
i lamprai’r afon, sef
pysgodyn cyntefig
prin, heb ên, sy’n
edrych fel llysywen,
yn Ardal Gadwraeth

Two other
rare fish species –
the Allis shad and
Twaite shad – are found
in the Usk. Obstructions
preventing them from
entering rivers to spawn,
pollution and overfishing have decimated
populations in
other UK rivers.
Mae dau bysgodyn
prin arall, sef yr Herlyn
a’r Wangen - hefyd i’w
gweld yn y Wysg. Mae
rhwystrau sy’n eu hatal
rhag myned i’r afonydd i
silio, gan gynnwysllygredd
a gorbysgota wedi difrodi
poblogaethau mewn
afonydd eraill
yn y DU.

Footsteps to Fitness
Y Ffordd i Ffitrwydd
The benefits of walking have long been
enjoyed in Abergavenny. In the 1880’s
the grounds around the Castle (above
Castle Meadows) were laid out as a
pleasure garden with walks, flower
beds and a rustic trellis gallery for all
to enjoy. Today the town meadow, an
area of flood plain grazing, still offers
pleasant walks beside the river.
Mae pobl eisoes yn mwynhau’r
manteision cerdded a geir yn Y Fenni.
Yn yr 1880au cafodd y tir o gwmpas y
Castell (uwchben Dolau’r Castell) ei
weddnewid fel gardd bleser, gyda
llwybrau, gwelyau blodau a delltwaith
gwledig i bawb ei fwynhau. Heddiw
mae’r ddôl sy’n orlifdir bori, dal i gynnig
teithiau cerdded pleserus ger yr afon.

Taith Gylch
Dolau’r Castell
You will take about 3,500 steps on this
walk around the meadows, burning up
around 165 calories – that’s the equivalent
of two chocolate digestive biscuits.
Fe gymerwch ryw 3,500 o gamau ar y
daith hon o gwmpas y dolydd, gan
losgi tua 165 o galorïau – sy’n gyfatebol i
ddwy fisged ddigestif siocled.
You will be well on your way to the
10,000 steps you should be aiming
to walk every day. And remember – when
you’ve worked up a thirst – a glass of
water contains no calories at all!
Byddwch ar eich ffordd i gyflawni’r
10,000 o gamau y dylech anelu i’w
cerdded bob dydd. A chofiwch – pan fydd
syched mawr arnoch – does yna ddim
calorïau o gwbl mewn gwydraid o ddŵ r!
