Overview

The walk is a longer version of the Ramblers’ Route with the same title.  After following the River south a section of urban walking followed by fields leads to the Common where the walk visits the cross on the site of Capel Gwladys.  The return route exits the eastern side of the common and follows a tree covered path.
