A walk along an old railway track, now an Active Travel Path will bring us to an ascent to Hermon Capel.

We then return via Graig y Coed. 

There will be good views of Bury Inlet and the Carmarthenshire Coast.

Stiles: To be advised on the day

Toilets: None.

Terrain: Although leisurely, there will be a couple of ascents onto the hillside above Crofty and Penclawdd.

Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to GG’s Gelato in Penclawdd.
