From Cwmdu we cross the main road and then take a track followed by fields south to Tretower. There is a short section (300 yards) on the main road until we turn into historic Tretower with its 13th century stone keep and medieval manor house. We then ascend though fields and on minor lanes passing the site of a Roman Fort. We pass onto open land before reaching the crest of the ridge where we should enjoy views over LLangorse Lake within its mountainous setting. The gently ascending ridge takes us passed prehistorical burial grounds and over Cefyn Moel before descending, quite steeply in places, but on generally good paths, to reach a minor road that takes us back down to Cwmdu.
There is likely to be mud through some of the fields.
