We are the Tawe Trekkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This walk takes us from Glantawe ascending up through beautiful established path eventually onto Waun Llefrith stopping off briefly en-route at Sinc Giedd. We now follow Beacons Way walking along the high ridges of Bannau Sir Gaer, Fan Brycheiniog, Fan Foel and Fan Hir before returning to our meeting place near Tavarn y Garreg. Along the way we can enjoy stunning high level views of the Western Beacons the highlight being Llyn y Fan Fach and Llyn y Fan Fawr. Depending on time constraints we may visit the crash site of the Vulcan training aircraft which is very close to our trail.
Dogs are welcome on this walk but will need to be kept on lead near livestock. Good strong footwear will be required along with warm and waterproof clothing which may be needed. The need to remove shoes to cross the stream may or may not be required depending on the amount of rainfall prior to the walk. A small lightweight towel may also therefore be advisable.
