Overview

Walking up through the forest from the Barry Sidings country park we soon emerge onto open hillside and make our way to the top of the first Mountain Myndd Gelliwion then we then descend to Ty-Draw farm ,and then we climb again to Cefn Coed farm , Langton court Farm and on to the top of our 2nd mountain Mynydd Y Glyn . Our ascents are now all done so its downhill to the river - Rhonnda Fach we follow the south bank for an easy stroll for a mile or so back to the car park.
