Overview

The walk follows country road in a northerly direction, at cattle grid we turn right & follow path along edge of forest Coedcae Watkins, Buarth Maen & Coed Golynos. Then steep descent into Upper Race through housing estate to a country road on the Cambrian Way.

We follow this trail until we reach the bottom of Mynydd Maen, then leave the Cambrian Way to reach the trig point on the summit.

From there we follow the path to a country road, turn right at road back to car park.
