Overview

From Weston under Penyard we make our way to Pontshill and on up to Palmer's Flat before dropping down to the valley. Then picking up what can be very muddy bridle ways to take us over to the next valley before ascending to Penyard Woods and back to the cars. Mix of footpaths, bridleways, fields and country lanes. Weather and conditions under foot will dictate the precise route taken. No dogs. ,W3W: overlaid.consonant.talkers If bad weather is forecast please check the group website (fodramblers.org.uk) to confirm that the walk is going ahead
