Overview

From start point a climb steep in parts which will be taken gradually to Bwa Drain. After a short road section past Ffynnon the route drops to the South taking us back into the Rheidol Valley. After walking East along the road we take the bridge across at the fish ladder & finish the walk on the South side of the river.
