Overview

An undulating walk of 5 or 10 miles in the lovely Radnor Hills. Skirting the lower slopes of Little and Gwaunceste Hills, onto the Giant's Grave (where walkers rambling the 5 miles will leave us after coffee).  Then a gradual ascent of the second Little Hill, follow a track and visit Glascwm Church (fascinating history). A short, steep climb follows onto the vast, desolate moorland of Glascwm Hill, then return to the cars.
