Overview

Leaving Gladestry, we have a long ascent via Offa's Dyke Path up to the monkey puzzle trees on Hergest Ridge. Then a steep drop down to go round Hanter Hill and return via Weythel and Llan Howell.

Lovely countryside, hills and valleys, quiet paths and lanes.

One short steep ascent on the return. Great views.
