Overview

From Chirk Bank across fields to the Llwybr Maelor Way, then heading down through Glyn Morlas. We follow the valley up through Bramble Wood, skirt more fields, cross a lane, and then make our way through another field to our lunch stop. Pleasant view on a good day. Around the far side of Ifton Meadow brings us to a short section of Wat's Dyke Way. Then along Rhyn Lane and across fields back to the start. Zone A.
