Overview

We leave the Car park (pay and display) and head South West until after just over a mile we reach the A4215 road. We very briefly walk along the road and then head North West across open country, eventually joining a former Roman Road and after 750 metres, we stop for coffee. Continuing along the Roman Road for a further 2.7 kms before we head up towards the summit (a gentle hill) and we stop there for lunch with great views north. We then retrace our steps for about 1/2 km before heading directly back to the Mountain Centre.
