Overview

Starting in Abersychan, we will steadily climb for a couple of hours through woodland and moorland,until we reach the top of Mynydd Farteg Fawr. From there we will carry on to the Dog Stone, of which you will learn the story behind it.

We will then enjoy a gentle descent back to the start via tracks and cycle paths.

On a clear day, there are 360 degree views of beautiful scenery, including across to Bristol.
