Overview

A lovely walk along the riverside to the ancient church of Dinas, then a steady climb over Garn Dwad for fantastic views.  We drop down through forestry, ford a stream and follow it for a while.  Then another climb brings us round the eastern side of the hill and back down to the pretty and historic settlement.

There's a real feel of remote mid-Wales here, though it's not a long drive to get there.  Llanwrtyd Wells has a super Heritage Centre showcasing its history as a popular spa town, and there are good pubs and cafes too.
