Overview

Starting from Goytre Wharf, a lovely but challenging walk of canals, hilltops and moorland with stunning views on a clear day. There is a long steady climb up to the Blenheim Bomber memorial on Garn Wen. From here we descend towards Folly Tower before a steep decent via a Roman Road to the canal at Mamhilad and our return to Goytre Wharf.
