Overview

From the start point we walk up a wide forest track and pass the cottage Ffordd-las-fawr. We emerge onto the open hill and follow the intake wall and then head to Llwyn-y-brain farm. Re-entering the forest, we follow tracks back to the start point.

Please note that we have to cross the shallow, but bridgeless, stream that runs through Cwm Ffrwd twice on this walk.
