Overview

A lovely short walk up the beautiful Angidy valley, taking in the old iron workings whilst also enjoying the views that the valley affords. Expect muddy paths and slippery conditions throughout due to the recent and ongoing wet weather, one stop only due to its short time duration but lunch afterwards (for those interested) at the fabulous and cost competitive Royal George Tintern.

Bring a drink and snack (one stop only).

Grade moderate, due to a couple of uphill sections sections out of the valley, also one steep stile.

Medium fitness required.
