Overview

A walk of just under 7 miles in length and mainly comprising canal towpaths, including a disused length of canal now designated a nature reserve, and woodland paths within Gaer Fawr – an ancient hillfort under the ownership & protection of The Woodland Trust. It is hoped that the bluebells, for which the Wood is famed, will provide colour and interest.
