Overview

The walk takes in open fields with lovely views of the village. We then proceed up the Aber valley along lanes. and through forestry. We will be in the heart of the Bannau Brycheiniog. Along the top of the valley we cross a stream then we will circle around the back of and then pass a very old farm which goes back hundreds of years. we will then walk down the other side of the valley until we come to the old Aber chapel where we will have lunch in the graveyard, and where we have stunning views of the valley leading to the Talybont reservoir. After lunch we then cross the valley over fields up to the Brinore railway line. This will lead us back to the village, we will then walk along the canal back to the car park.
