| Description: | Near Abergavenny. The Blorenge, looking from Sugar Loaf. Looking towards the Blorenge. The south-westerly dip of the strata can be clearly seen in the pale green streak near the top of the hill. This streak marks the outcrop of the basal Carboniferous Limestone. The highest part of the hill is in basal Coal Measures strata. The wide prominent bench towards the base of the hill has a thin veneer of glacial drift and is thought to be an alp-type feature marking a former preglacial valley position. |
