Overview

This walk should tick all the boxes!

A total climb of 1,050 feet, including a steep sandy hill and a long steady climb up Llanmadoc Hill to a superb viewing point.

We then drop down via the ruins of the old Llanmadoc School to cross fields and woods as we approach Cheriton.

After that, we walk a vale leading to the Cwm Ivy Marsh where there is a set of stepping stones then the final mile to the car park.

Stiles: There will be stiles on this walk.

Toilets: In the venue after the walk.

Terrain: 

  • Coast path.
  • Hills.
  • Farmland.
  • Stepping stones.
  • Mud - so I recommend gaiters and walking poles.

Social after walk:

Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to a suitable venue.
