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

From the car park at Gilwern we pick up the canal, leaving at the impressive Llanwenarth House before heading westward to the old Gilwern Station and proceeding along the course of the old tramway to the old Lime Works, Clydach and the old Ironworks. Crossing a footbridge over the A465 we journey back through fields and return alongside the canal to Gilwern.
The walk includes significant but not particularly steep climbs with total ascent of around 1300 feet. Paths are not greatly hazardous but of course are vulnerable to the impact of possible bad weather given the time of year.
Talbot Green, Leisure Centre at Llantrisant for car sharing.
Off A465 onto Main Street. Car park is 150m on LH side.
