Overview

Walk takes paths up Cwm Sychan valley to reach hill over Cwmtillery and then follows quiet paths past reservoirs and over Coity Mountain to lunch stop at Whistle Inn with steam railway. After lunch we go past lakes and Big Pit museum, back over hill and through old beech woods. Good views. Some steepish ascents with rocky paths.
