Overview

This is a lovely interesting walk in the Rhymney Valley with a mix of parkland, fields, ridgeway walking and some local history along the way. Visiting the site of a historic Roman village fort, and the valley coal mining murals!! Mostly flat with one very gentle incline along a sloping field.
