Glyn Ceiriog - Nant Lafar Circular. Wander upward between the Cambrian Quarries and descend the "Vicarage old track" 4 km (2½ miles); height gain 220m (725ft); about 1½ hours.(Or extend it up to the Ceiriog Forest for as far as you wish!) Lanes, tracks, paths.

Go uphill L of the Cross Stores, passing the Plas Owen Hotel driveway, and toiling on up Nant Lafar. Where the tarmac ends fork R. and continue on the gated track. The track gradually degenerates into a path and this turns sharply R. and up to a lane. Turn R up this lane for 4 mins to a roadsign and grass triangle. Go R down this clear track, passing Cefn Canol and on down with the track swinging L and R and deteriorating into a narrow sunken awkward gully. It is a County Road, and it does improve again and becomes a tarmac lane! It reaches Glyn High Street beside the Vicarage. Turn R and in 4 minutes you are back at base.
