Overview

A horseshoe shaped walk around Cwm Clydach that is exclusively on forest tracks except for the parts from and to the car park.  The first part of the walk is a long climb of 380 metres with occasional views but mostly in trees.  After leaving the carn at Mynydd William Meyrick the route is flatter and we should have better views towards the south.
