Overview

From the village of Cwmdu, we ascend on the Beacons Way eastwards on a minor road. After a steady climb, the path then largely contours around the hillside, giving a variety of views across the Rhiangoll and Usk valleys and to the hills beyond. We descend down Cwm Mawr and then contour through fields back to the village of Cwmdu.
