Pontfadog Walk 'C' -
Around 'Brown Billy' Hill - Wonderful 360° panoramic views! - Good
tracks and country lanes. 6km. (4 miles); height gain 270m. (885 ft.)
about 2½ hours.
By the War Memorial in
the village centre cross the river bridge, steeply uphill for 2 minutes
and follow the road sharp R. upwards to the Graig. Along this lane for 3
minutes to a diagonal cross-roads and straight ahead onto an (initially)
tarmac track, rising within the woodland of Coed Pen-craig.
Follow this clear and attractive track for 45 minutes to a clear
cross-roads. Turn L. onto a green lane, reasonably level for 6 minutes
to a tarmac lane. Go L. gently down hill, passing Henmer House. Just
over 1 minute beyond this, go L. still on tarmac, gently uphill again.
About 11 minutes walking brings you to a wood (you reach your highest
point of 365m. (1,205 ft) above sea level just before the wood). Keep to
the lane which drops quite steeply to the R. and below the wood. About
25 minutes after reaching the wood, arrive at a T junction with a tarmac
lane. Ahead, take the stile between two gates. This short path bends R.
and drops to another tarmac lane. Go L. downhill for about 10 minutes to
reach the river bridge and village. |
