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

Exploring the wild moors above Painscastle. Following well trodden paths and tracks we will start by heading west with beautiful views of the whole length of Bannau Brycheiniog in front of us and the Begwns just across the valley. (In good visibility) This is a figure of eight walk. The first loop will be around 8.5 miles. There is the option of returning to your car or staying on for a further 3 miles to the top of Red Hill. There are no stiles. This is open access land, parts of which are managed for the protection of bird populations and other wildlife.
Bring a packed lunch. Assistance dogs only. Please book. Car sharing would be helpful for lots of reasons.
From Painscastle turn and drive up the road past the Roast Ox public house. This will take you on a small road up onto the open moorland. Keep going until you find a small parking area with an interpretative sign.
