Glyn Ceiriog - Nant Y Wenair and Pen Y Bryn.- A sunny hillside walk with fine views. - 41/2Km (3 miles); height gain 140m (460 ft); - about 1½hours. - Roads, tracks, paths, lanes. Slightly precipitous when approaching Pen y bryn farm.

From The Cross' walk down the main road (New Road) for 3 mins, then turn L into Y Maes by the PO letterbox. After 2 mins go R into Old Road, and continue ahead for 6 minutes, passing the school playing fields and road junction, to a clear track on L (by field gate with alternate round and square rails). Follow the track, keeping L at fork, for 14 mins to emerge onto Church car park. Walk up to main Church gate. A track on R, following the church wall, leads to a stile. Cross this onto path 7. Initially on a hard drive but almost immediately drop down below a line of hawthorn trees and swing L (below the covered reservoir) dropping gradually below a hedgeline to cross a stream at a footbridge. Follow a sunken track ahead for 2 mins to ford a second small stream, then sharp L up a treelined track with a sharp R bend i which leads up to a lane. Steeply uphill on the lane for 10 rains, rounding a R-hand hairpin, and on upward to a walled track on R. Two gates lead you into the garden of Hafod y Haidd, pass behind the cottage, over a ladder stile, and cross an open field following the hedge on your L. Reaching the next cross-hedge, you can opt out and take paths 3a and 4a back to base. But you will miss the superb high terrace path which contours ahead to Pen y Bryn Farm. Immediately before the farm, the route rises through trees to a farm gate. Go R around the rear of the buildings. Behind the farmhouse, leave the farm drive. going L onto path 2 which initially dips, then rises to cross a stile on your R. Cross a field below a birch hedge, passing big fallen trees and ahead to a tarmac lane. Go down the lane for 3 mins then R onto path 1 along a house drive then across a field below stables to cross a brook and stile. Go downhill to a hedgerow, then R along it to the rear of Plas Wynne Residential Home, then diagonally L to a stile onto a lane. Follow the lane R for 10 rains, swinging L by a metal wayside seat, to reach the main road near the school entrance. Cross the road and take the path alongside the first white house (Yr Hen Bandy). Keep on this riverside path to its end, then R uphill for 1 min to "The Cross".
