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

We will be catching the 10.30 train from Pant which runs to the east of both the Pontsticill and Pentwyn Reservoirs to Torpantau and then making the return journey to Pant by foot.
Starting our walk from Torpantau, we will go through the Taf Fechan Forest where we will pass a couple of waterfalls and then join the Taff Trail. We will continue on the Taff Trail to Pontsticill village at which point we cross the dam at the bottom of the reservoir, Continuing on the Taff Trail above the river Taf we will make our way back to the station at Pant.
The paths we will follow are good tracks, most of which are through forestry, and a small amount of road walking on a quiet lane. It is a reasonably flat walk with no steep inclines/declines.
Bookings & pre-payment for the train journey, was required by 30th June. If you have not pre-paid, you will need to book your own ticket. This can be done online, or on the day. The train fare is £16.00, but there is no guarantee that you will be able to get a seat on the train.
Please message the Walk Leader, Caroline J. (07716 740091) to book places on this walk.
