Overview

 We will head off down the road from the church and join a footpath with a warming climb, ideal for winter walks. Then continuing up the side of Ack Wood to Newhouse Farm and eventually dropping down to Ffoesidoes farm and on to Cwm Mawr. We’ll then climb up to, and then walk along, Glastir Forest tracks, gradually climbing beyond Rhiw Lawr to our highest point, and lunch. We’ll eventually follow a track via Cascob Farm down to Twiscob. We shall then descend to Cascob on the lane.

The steeper climbs are in the earlier stages and we will have completed the climbing by lunchtime. 

Only livestock encountered were sheep.
