Overview

Starting from the Parc Cwm Darran Visitor Centre this walk takes you around both sides of the Darran Valley, with breathtaking views and stunning landscapes, taking in 9 places of historical interest.

We follow mainly good tracks but some open moorland.

I cannot remember any stiles.

There is a cafe at the Visitor Centre which may still be open on our return.
