Overview

From the meeting point on Penglais hill the route goes into the nature reserve of Penglais woods past the golf course to the firstb peak of Constitution Hill.  The descent into Aberystwyth is followed by a 1 mile walk along the prom crossing the Afon Rheidol before ascending the second peak of Pen Dinas. The route then descends down its Western side towards Tanybwlch beach & thence into the centre of Aber.

It is possible for anyone to do only half this walk- Ask leader to arrange a meeting or leaving point.
