Overview

This is a short walk, but one of great interest. It takes us past houses, of differing architectural styles, spanning four centuries and includes the Iron Age hill fort of Moel Dinas. There are also some excellent views of the Dwyryd estuary and Moel Gifftan to the west. To see these though involves some steep climbing (of about 900ft) through forestry and rough pasture from the beginning of the walk. The descent includes a short walk beside the charming Afon Rhyd and a number of stiles.
