Overview

The walk starts by following a moorland track on Bryngwyn Hill before climbing Cefn Wylfre. After walking the length of the ridge we descend to a small stream and follow a quiet road to Rhulen. After passing the pretty churchyard we start the long climb to Red Hill before descending into the next valley. Another climb will take us around Bryngwyn Hill for the return.

This hilly walk is mainly on moorland tracks and quiet roads and offers panoramic views of the surrounding hills.
