Overview

Join Lucy on a lovely circular walk along the Neath Canal before climbing through woods to a viewpoint.

N.B. There will be a few steep ascents so this walk will be a bit harder in places than our usual Saturday walks. 

We will then go around a small reservoir and pass through the beautiful Gnoll Park with its lakes and a ruined mansion.

We then return to the station via Victoria Gardens.

Social after walk:

Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to The Bryncoch Inn.
