A walk through the woods and fields around Rudry and Draethen, which takes in Ruperra Castle and an historic Iron Bridge. With good weather the walk should provide extensive views over the Wentloog levels and the Severn Estuary, particularly from the Iron Age hill fort, most recently used as a Summer House.
The walk is mainly on forest tracks through woods which may be slippery in wet weather.
The walk includes one lengthy climb and one steep descent with a number of other ups and downs. Walking poles are recommended. Gaitors would also be recommended.
There are three stiles to climb over.
Grading - Moderate +
Llwyn Celyn Car Park Leave the M4 at Junction 30 and head north signposted for Rudry. Continue along this country lane heading uphill for approximately two miles. At the top of the hill you reach a T Junction, take the sharp left turn signposted for Lisvane. After a very short distance, the car park is on the right hand side.
