Overview

We start off walking up by the waterfalls straight to the top of Craig y Fan Ddu. This is a long steep stretch which we will take at a steady slow pace. Once up the views are great. We will walk along the top until we reach the large cairn, then will start our descent along Twyn ddu down to the top end of the Talybont reservoir. We will walk back along a mixture of forest tracks/road and paths to the lower waterfalls at Blaen y Glyn. We will get a good view of the waterfalls as we make our ascent back up to the car park. This is an addition to the published program.
