Overview

Our route from Meifod crosses the river Vyrnwy and then follows the line of wooded hills beyond. These were the sites of hill forts and settlements and we will see several of these on the way. The first half of our walk is on Glyndwr’s Way (a National Trail) via Broniarth Hill, Llyn Du, and Fron-las. The upper lane gives great views to the hills in the west. Then we will climb up through the forestry to one of the hilltop settlement sites for our lunch stop, Our return uses part of the Cross Britain Way through woods back to the valley.

Bring refreshments for coffee and lunch stops.
