Overview

Starting at Brecon town the walk heads N.West to ascends Pen-y-crug then descends and heads for Cradoc. The route then follows tracks and fields to Sarnau, Llandefylog and Anod Bridge. The final section follows a woodland route above the River Honddu before descending to Brecon.

The walk has a strenuous grading which I believe is misleading because the ascents in my opinion are not overly taxing.
