Overview

This walk is in memory of Christine and Richard, who both loved this walk, and they will be sadly missed by their rambling friends.

The walk will take us along the old drovers road over the vole through open countryside, with views looking down the Neath valley. At the end of the road we will turn back on ourselves and the trail will take us below the vole through grassland and reclaimed forestry, we will  pass the entrance to the path which leads down to the Sgwd yr  Eira waterfall.  Anyone wishing to go down to the falls can do so, the less energetic will wait for them at the top. The walk will then take us towards the village of Penderyn with open views towards the national park.
