We are the Merthyr Valley Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

From Dinas Rock, we pass the ‘Waterfall Country Pods’ to join a path taking us over a tributary of the River Mellte before a steady climb towards Moel Penderyn (the Foel). A visit to the trig point is not planned. From the stile at the Foel, we follow a fairly steep, and possibly muddy, slope down to join a farm track where we stop for morning tea. We then follow a ‘waterfall country’ path, taking in an optional view of Sgwd y Eira, before passing through moorland and trees, to then drop down to the River Mellte and the Gunpowder Works for lunch. It is then an easy walk back to Rinas Rock.
If the weather is very poor two short, linear walks may be followed instead.
