Overview

The walk starts in Blackmill and goes up the Ogmore valley to Ogmore Vale and then climbs up and over Mynydd Llangeinor and down to Pont y Rhyl in the Garw valley. On a clear day the views are stunning. On the way back we will drop into Llangeinor and up to the lonely Llangeinor church before returning to Blackmill.

Starting point Blackmill. Turn in at the war memorial and follow the road round to the right and over the bridge to the car park.
