A fairly exposed walk starting and finishing with roads and fields, but mostly comprising open moorland. Up the remote Cwm Banw to the ridge below Pen Allt-mawr, then along the ridge to Mynydd Llysiau. Back down the Grwyne Fechan valley via the green and gentle Macnamara’s Road. We then follow the path along the hill wall through Park Wood and down to the road. Paths are sometimes faint and rough, but the climbing is gradual and all in the first 2 hours!
