Overview

A circular walk from Keeper’s Pond (aka Pwll Pen-ffordd-goch) around the edge of the Blorenge, before climbing to the trig point and then descending back to the start point via Foxhunter. On a clear day, the views in all directions are truly magnificent. Quite a short walk, however the path is very rocky and uneven in places. There will be an opportunity for post-walk refreshments at a local hostelry.
