Overview

Starting at Cwmdu village hall, we continue across the fields behind Cwmdu crossing Clarach Brook. This continues whilst ascending until you overlooking Bwlch making our way around the mountain. We then start the climb towards Mynydd Llangorse.

The climbs are challenging and sticks are advised. Once at the top the path is wide and well laid out, the climb from here is gradual. The views are definitely worth the effort, Sugar loaf and Llangorse are never far from view.

We descend down the Cockit Hill overlooking Mynydd Troed, again sticks are advised as this is a steep descend.

This follows with walking along woods, ending with quiet farm road walking until we cross the Clarach Brook to the village hall.
