Overview

Llangynidr and Cwm Cleisfer followed by optional pub grub at the Coach & Horses.

A short walk in the beautiful and rarely visited Cwm Cleisfer. From the start point we climb steadily but gradually up the valley to the remote Pant Llwyd farm just below the intake wall on Mynydd Llangynidr. We then strike out across fields to Glaister Uchaf farm and then descend back to the start point via a little used lane.

There are 7 stiles on this walk.
