This was one of my lockdown walks when we had to walk locally. It combines Quakers Yard, Llanfabon, Nelson & Trelewis.
From the water board in Quakers Yard we walk through the woods to Fiddlers elbow roundabout then up through Cynon cemetry and follow a track which takes us past Whitehall golf club, down into Llanfabon. We walk up the road until we pick up the Rhumney valley ridgeway path which takes us down into Nelson. We cross the railway line onto the cycle path 47 which takes us into Trelewis, then through some fields (cows present) and back to Quakers Yard. Dogs will need to be on leads a lot of the time due to walks on lanes and live stock present.
