Overview

A hilly walk, quite steep and strenuous in places. 

From the Church and Cemetery above Glyn Ceiriog we follow quite steep footpaths through wooded valleys to Finger Farm. Then we head off across wonderful heather moorland to reach Biddulph Tower and the trig point at Y Foel. If it is clear the 360 views are well worth the effort! We return through steep wooded valleys with lots of ups and downs.

There are a number of stiles, all are very robust but designed for people with long legs!

It may be muddy and slippery and walking poles may. be useful.

Bring refreshments for coffee and lunch stops.
