Overview

Although this walk is graded moderate it covers a lot of rough open moorland and can feel very remote and exposed, especially at this time of year. After crossing Black Brook we will follow the track around Fron Hill before beginning a fairly long climb through fields onto the moors above Harley Dingle. We will have fantastic views to the south and east, weather permitting. There will be a few narrow paths and short steep descents which will be slippery and require care. Once we get above Davy Morgan’s Dingle the ground is rough and wet in places and, although our paths are fairly obvious, there can be a lot of standing water if it has been raining. Our views will now be to the north and west before we make a welcome return to the woods. We will finish our walk with a visit to the waterfall.
