Overview

We will make our way across Manmoel Common where Y Domen Fawr will soon loom into view.  We will skirt the eastern side of the mountain, stopping by the site of the former Victoria Incline Engine House before climbing up to the ridge.  Heading north along the ridge with fantastic valley views we will head toward the summit before descending to the forestry and lunch beside St James Lake. We will then continue north through woodland before bearing east and a short climb to our start point
