Overview

We will head north east across open land to the Iron Age hill fort at Twyn y Gaer, then on towards the ancient motte at Blaencamlais. We will shortly pick up a short section of road before heading north to Cefn LLechid, where there will hopefully be some fine views from the trig. We then descend to another short section of road, before our return south towards the Daudraeth Illtyd Nature Reserve and th Visitor Centre.
