Overview

The walk passes the historic town of Llantrisant before heading to the Caerau hill fort with, hopefully excellent views.  We then descend though attractive woodland to reach a parish road where we join the Penrhys pilgrimage route for a short distance to reach Mwyndy before turning northwards to return to the start.
