Glyn's South- East Spur - A great spur of hillside to the SW of the village lies cradled within the sweeping bend of the Ceiriog river. This walk climbs and crosses the spur. 5km (31/2 miles); height gain 190m (625 ft); 1 hour 40 mins,
Lanes and paths.

Leave The Cross taking the road downhill past the Post Office. As the road swings R to the river bridge, take the riverside path L to its end opposite the school. Turn R and follow the main road for 7 mins where a lane leads R (just before a modern river bridge) Follow this lane to buildings and pass behind the house on L. Take the R fork onto a track to a field gate. Keep diagonally uphill, just L of treeline, to reach the gable end of the roughcast 'Hillside Cottage'. Cross the lane (B4579) and keeping L of the cottage and its oil tank, climb stone steps to a stile. Keep uphill, following the fence on your R for 1 min, then cross 2nd stile, and follow same fence, now on your L. A 3rd stile leads you into a rising avenue of mixed trees with ever-widening views to the north and west. Keep in this avenue, forking R as the gradient eases and continue to the brow of the hill. Routes divide here (a waymarker post). This walk goes ahead (not the option turning L.) A good place to rest and soak up the landscape! The path ahead soon hugs the top edge of steep woodland, and descends down a track to reach a lane at Pant Farm. Turn R down the lane for 20 mins, reaching a junction and turning L over the river bridge, and so back up to The Cross.
