We are the Vale of Glamorgan Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This route follows the Iron Mountain Trail (part 2) to Blaenavon then going north of the Ironworks over an open industrial landscape (iron & mining) heading to the now closed Lamb & Fox..
We ascend Gilwern Hill and circle around to the east to overlook Cwm Llanwenarth with views of the Blorenge, Sugar Loaf and Skirrid.
We return by the remains of the Balance Pond.
There are five stiles on the route, a fair amount of boggy ground and a sting in the tail to finish as we ascend out of the valley.
Some paths towards the end are rough and very uneven.
