Overview

There is a longer and a shorter option:

Longer Walk - 8 Miles and Shorter Walk - 5 Miles

Longer walk starts at 09.30am. Our route takes us up steep inclines to Ogwr Ridgeway on Mynydd Baedan . If the weather is good there are fine views from the top. We will follow the Ridgeway to the west joining a quiet lane hopefully continuing to enjoy the views. The rest of the walk is the short walk ........

Shorter walk starts at 11am. From the parking place we will follow the lane then turn into the forest which has a variety of trees and some splendid rivers. We will follow Nant Craigyraber southwards then there is a short bit of road walking before we finish at Parc slip nature reserve and return to the carpark.

The shorter walk is mostly downhill on good paths, but I have graded it 2/3 because there is a short section that is quite uneven under foot.

The cafe by the carpark is now open again and would be perfect for post walk refreshment.

I hope you can join us on this very pleasant walk.
