Overview

Heading South on good paths we pass through Deri on the way to Groes-Faen Terrace where we stop for a coffee break. Leaving Groes-Faen we head up to the ridge above Parc Cwm Darran for extensive views (on a clear day) before descending through ancient oak woodland (Coed Deri-Newydd) down to Tony waterfall. We then return to the visitor centre for optional drinks, snacks & cakes!
