Overview

This walk covers various fields and tracks to the South of Pentyrch.  There are pleasant views over the Vale and Cardiff given good conditions.

We will also pass three examples of memorial plaques to a late member of our group, Trevor Whatley who was a volunteer footpath maintenance worker in the 1990s and 2000s.
