We are the Pontypool Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This short but spectacular walk in the Black Mountains starts with a climb through the cleft of the Black Darren, via the landslip area, to meet the Offa’s Dyke Path. This is followed by a 2 mile level walk along the ridge, before descending to an old drover’s road to return to the start point.
* Pre-booking requested. Please message walk leader, Lew Lewis (07881700698)
