Overview

After making our way through the outskirts of the town, we enter Craig Gwladys, a very pretty woodland with streams and lovely views if the weather allows.

There are a few stiles.

We have the opportunity to wander through the ruins of Neath Abbey before joining the Neath Canal for our return to the start.
