Overview

I've been doing this for a few years now, and just managed to fit it in this year as well.
Starting from Machen we make our way through woods and country lanes to Ruperra Castle before walking over Coed Craig Ruperra, down to Draethen and back across fields.

This is a Christmas walk so feel free to wear your Xmas sweaters, Santa hats etc and let me know if you want to go for a pub lunch afterwards as this will need to be booked.

The walk may be muddy.
