Tiger Bay Ramblers (TBR) is a walking group for people of working age. It is based in Cardiff but walks across South Wales and beyond.
On the 22nd of July both the Shell Grotto and Folly Tower will be open to visitors, something that only happens a few times a year. So I'm putting this walk on again.
Starting from Pontypool Leisure Centre we have a short, steep initial climb to the Shell Grotto. From there we follow a track to the Tower and on to Mynydd Garnwen where we climb to the trig before making a circuit and rejoining our path back to the start.
Public toilets at the start.
There is a cafe in the leisure centre and we will probably have a pub stop after the walk.
The start point is approximately one mile from Pontypool and New Inn train station for those using public transport.
Car sharing cannot be guaranteed but anyone wanting to should contact the walk leader who will try and organise this.
