We are the Taff Ely Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

The walk consists of three parts.
Allt y Rhiw is a rare example of a wood still subject to common right of access. Mentioned in a manorial survey of 1632 it is almost purely sessile oakwood with a few scattered specimens of other trees such as hazel and birch.
Mynydd y Gaer, on the Glamorgan Ridgeway, is the highest point on the walk; unfortunately the area either side it has been badly scarred by vehicles.
The route through Cwm Ogwr Fach is a pretty section overlooking the river.
Some of the paths through the woods are cut up by horses and there are a number of fallen trees. There is plenty of mud and rough walking on the Ridgeway. On the descent to the Cwm there are two sections which are exceeding wet/muddy where gaiters are an asset. There are two stiles.
