A varied, picturesque circular walk taking in Table Mountain, Llanbedr church, the Grwyne rivers and Llangenny. To start with there is a reasonably steep ascent up Table Mountain via Cwm Cumbeth and then a steep descent to Llanbedr church with its ancient yews. We then follow the Grwyne river through Llangenny to the ancient chestnut tree - reputed to have a connection with Tolkien - at Millbrook Bridge, and we return over the shoulder of Rheld to Crickhowell.
