We are the Mortimer Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A circular walk in the Black Mountains, with great views to Skirrid and Sugar Loaf on a fine day. We cross the Grwyne Fawr valley to the beautiful and interesting church of St Issui and then up onto Crug Mawr. From the trig point it’s northwards, initially on open land, and then via forestry and tracks. We’ll head back and up the east side of the valley aiming for the Twyn Y Gaer Hill Fort. From here it’s a short descent back to the start.
Some rough paths so poles will be useful.
Bring MMR, pack lunch and maybe an extra snack in case we want to linger a while on the hill fort in the afternoon.
If you would like to join this walk, please book a place with the leader, if you are unable to attend, please cancel your booking so that someone else can take your place. If you turn up without booking we have to turn you away.
Car sharing is encouraged to minimise car parking, fuel costs and carbon footprint.
Assistance dogs only.
Woodland car park, (500 metres due west from The Queen’s Head Walkers Car Park). To find: turn left at The Queen’s Head pub driving up a steep narrow lane. You will see a parking area on your right after 500m or so. Exp OL13
