Skirrid taxi company beneath the holy mountain

Taxis around Skirrid provide short hops into Abergavenny, walker pickups, early airport transfers to Cardiff or Bristol, cruise runs to Southampton, and longer trips to Newport, Cardiff or Hereford. Sitting at the foot of the iconic Skirrid mountain (Ysgyryd Fawr) just north of Abergavenny, Skirrid offers access to one of the most distinctive peaks in Wales. The mountain's broken back silhouette is said in legend to have cracked at the moment of Christ's crucifixion, making it a pilgrimage site for centuries and now a much loved walking destination with views stretching across to the Sugar Loaf, the Blorenge and the wider Brecon Beacons. Call 01873 567567.
