Overview

A perennial favourite, the closest 'mountain walk' to Aberystwyth; the 'hard' bit is a slightly vertiginous path above the Leri gorge which ascends with great views of the 'sliding waterfall' (pistyll). Otherwise easy walking with nice varied views on forest tracks & paths. About 1km of easy quiet road walking at the end.
