Overview

We meet at Penmaenpool and ascend on paths through forest and pleasant woodland. The walk continues across several fields before reaching a rocky outcrop known locally as the Giant's Head with views of Cadair Idris on one side and down across the estuary on the other. There is then a gentle descent before taking a break for lunch after which walkers have the choice of returning straight back to Penmaenpool or following a two-mile extension which includes some ascent before the final return.
