Overview

Starting from the Angel Inn, we’ll take the road to Dinas Rock, then take the well-used path towards Sgwd yr Eira.

Walking behind the waterfall, we’ll climb the steep path and continue along the popular path to Porth yr Ogof.

We’ll return via the beautiful Nedd Fechan Valley.

Along the way I’ll give some pointers about how this spectacular landscape has evolved.

Terrain: Please note, that although listed as moderate, there is one very steep, stepped climb.
