Overview

The walk follows country lanes, field and woodland paths. Many of these are relatively flat.

The initial route takes walkers to Treflach Farm and  through the Sweeney Mountain area. It then heads towards Nantmawr and weather / recce permitting will ascend onto Moelydd Uchaf. (NB: The overall ascent is 933 feet.) The final part of the route heads over to Trefonen Hall and finally back to the starting point. 

There are a number of stiles and the ground may be wet and muddy - so walking poles are recommended. Toilets may be available at Treflach Farm.

Please bring refreshments for coffee and lunch stops.

The joint walk leader (David H) will be at the meeting point for car sharing.
