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

We'll be climbing up towards Castle Hill to pick up a lovely bridleway with great views to the South. Our route then takes us up The Smatcher before descending through Smatcher Wood. Some lovely views towards Harley Dingle & the Whimble. Our return will be via Water Break Its Neck - an optional visit to see the waterfall, before returning to the cars.
Two major ascents on this walk. There are two stiles and one bit of stock fencing to climb over (no barbed wire). The descent through Smatcher Wood is steepish, and slippy and rocky to start with. We cross the A44 twice, so care needed as it is busy and traffic travels quickly. It is bound to be wet & muddy underfoot.
We'll be parking at the car park just off the A44 on the track to Water Break its Neck. It would be possible to park further along the track near to the waterfall turn off, but you would need to be a the car park near the A44 for the start of the walk at 10.00am.
