Walk Details

• Start where the railway station lane meets the A48 (near the river bridge).
• Proceed past the Petrol Station then bear left and keep on until you see the Fire Station.
• Turn left at this crossroads along Tynybonau Road for approx. 0.8km and after passing an industrial estate turn right up a lane which will take you through the yard of Tynybonau Farm.
• On reaching a junction turn right and after about 0.5km you reach Glynhir Cross Roads, turn left along the Garnswllt Road and immediately after a humpback bridge follow the path on the left alongside the river Camffrwd.
• You will reach a bridge, do not go across but continue for another 125m before turning sharp right to eventually reach the Garnswllt Rd.
• Turn right along the metalled road and immediately past a small chapel, go left uphill for about 70m before turning half-right to follow alongside a small stream (Heol Ddŵr). This path will reach a rough track on a sharp bend so continue uphill to Graig Fawr for some nice views (this is part of the St. Illtyd walk).
• By going right you will eventually come out on a metalled road.
• Go downhill for nearly 1km then follow the main road past the Comprehensive school.
• After crossing the river bridge take the 2nd left to take you back to the village centre and back to the railway station.
