Overview

An excellent walk, as we go through Craig y Nôs Country Park then up past Dan y Ogof, (with magnificent Mountain Views in all directions!).

We continue to 'Saith Maen' a line of seven Neolithic standing stones, whose significance, (like mine), is lost in time!

The walk is marked as moderate but there will be some sections which could be classed as Strenuous!

Social after the walk: Afterwards, we will go back to the Ancient Briton for refreshments.
