Overview

We meet in Tonfanau to catch the train to Llwyngwril and then walk back, following the Coastal Path for much of the way. We climb quite steeply out of Llwyngwril, reaching a height of some 170 metres, with lovely views across Cardigan Bay. Our route stays quite high on the hillside, though with a few ups and downs along the way. Just before its final descent, we leave the Coastal Path and head for the hill known as “The Beacon”, climbing up to its 178 metre top before descending back down to Tonfanau.
