We are the Pontypool Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Graeme C.
A linear walk from Llanbradach station to Hengoed station (after catching the train from Hengoed to Llanbradach). Leaving the station we follow footpaths through Llanbradach to walk alongside the Rhymney River. After crossing the river we start a long gradual ascent up to the Rhymney Valley Ridgeway, using a disused railway line, quiet roads and footpaths through fields, woods & moorland. As we gain height, on a clear day, panoramic views open up. We then descend back to Hengoed, passing over the Hengoed/Maesycwmmer Viaduct before reaching the station.
Please arrive in time to catch the 10:24 train from Hengoed to Llanbradach (Fare is £2.10 with Bus Pass or £3.20 without)
Please note that some of the paths can be muddy after heavy rain.
Please message the Walk Leader, Graeme C. (07751 754652) to book places on this walk.
