Overview

Join Clive for a walk that will pass through Briton Ferry Woods and Lady’s Walk.

We will pass high above Baglan and skirt the foothill of Foel Fynyddau before returning via the disused railway incline back to Briton Ferry.

On the way, if the weather is good to us, we should have some stunning high-level views over the area.

See photos of Clive’s winter walk at Briton Ferry.
