We are the Merthyr Valley Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

From the Sobell car park, we follow Abernant Road uphill to the Rhoswhenallt Inn, to an old tramway taking us across the top of Cwmbach. We pass Cefn Pennar, going alongside the Mt Ash Golf Club, before heading downhill to Mt Ash School and Ysbyty Cwm Cynon. We stop near Pwll Waun Cynon Nature Reserve for lunch, then go alongside the A4059 before cutting through the old Phurnacite Plant to Cwmbach. We follow the Aberdare canal from Cwmbach before heading back to the Leisure Centre car park.
Much of the walk is on sealed pathways and pavements. We have short stretches along roads without pavements or verges.
