The Meirionnydd Ramblers are a friendly and welcoming group. We offer regular and varied walks in the wonderful countryside in and around southern Snowdonia.
A walk around the village of Brithdir visiting the 343 metre summit of Y Foel and returning via the Torrent Walk. We use a combination of quiet lanes, tracks and public footpaths, with a permissive path to the top of Y Foel. Although modest in height, this isolated hill offers wonderful views of the surrounding cointryside and the nearby ridges of Cadair Idris. Our route then takes us across fields and through woodland, with a final ascent alongside the rushing Afon Clywedog (the Torrent), whose rapids and falls are clearly visible through the trees and this time of year.
Expect to encounter some wet and boggy ground, and a stream which needs to be crossed. Waterproof boots are essential and gaiters strongly recommended!
Group grade C+
Layby on B4416 at top of the Torrent Walk. Additional parking on opposite side of the road by old school.
