Overview

The walk will cross the river Taff (by Bridge - No wading across!)

We follow the river, then a steady climb to the gap / bite for a Coffee break.

Then downhill to follow the old canal road to Abercynon and back up the river. After a climb to the road we head back towards Quakers Yard and then to Nelson.

Finally, we cut through the woods to retrace our steps back to the Glan Pub !
