Overview

Weather permitting, a higher-level circular walk of Cwm Clydach with excellent long views.

Taking higher-level paths, we will make our way to Ty-Uchaf Cwm, dropping down into the valley for a lunch stop. 

From here we will make our way back via Carn Llechart, again on elevated paths with potentially great views.

N.B. The valley has its fair share of mud!!

Social after walk: 
Afterwards, we will go for rehydration to the adjacent “New Inn”.
