A route that circles the small village of Cwm.
moderate
Distance 21.8 km
This one has shot to the top of my favourite local routes.
A gradual climb from Aberbeeg to the top of Man-Moel moors where you can take in the views across to Pen-Y-Fan mountain in Powys.
Drop down into the Festival Park where there's a Cafe for refreshments & some picturesque lakes.
Cross the bridge out of Cwm & walk through the cemetary then into Silent Valley Nature Reserve. Follow the circular waymarked Blue route then join onto the footpath up onto the moors, this climb is very steep.
Head across the top of the moors to the top of Cwm Big then back down into Aberbeeg.
