Overview

The walk starts along the railway trackbed through the beautiful woodlands that clothe the steep western slopes of the Sirhowy Valley, then climbs up a track and out onto the open high ground of Mynydd y Grug. This return leg has superb views over the adjacent valleys, before a track takes the route back down through woodland to the start.
