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

On this walk you will enjoy panoramic views of the Brecon Beacons, Black Mountains, Begwyns and the Epynt. We cross three commons and visit the trig point on Mynydd Fforest. This is a very remote area and we are unlikely to see any other walkers. However, the walking is fairly easy in open country with no stiles and any climbs are extremely gradual. The fforest in the title is used in the medieval sense and there are very few trees.
