Overview

A thought-provoking walk through the Country Park. 

Here we shall see the unbelievable power of nature, as evidenced by Storm Denis. 

Continuing onward through the beautiful countryside of the Upper Swansea Valley, we shall have our equanimity restored before a slow ascent to Penwyllt.

We’ll stop for a flask of coffee at Penwyllt from where we can savour the majestic northerly view.

There will be one steep hill and 2 stiles.

Social after walk:
Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to The Ancient Briton.
