This 8km route takes us around the reservoir and brings us back through a forestry section of the Taffs Trail. The distance and route is perfect for those who may not feel confident to tackle longer distances, or wanting to avoid very steep or technical terrain.
There are some inclines and declines as well as flat sections. Underfoot, the route varies, with some sections along the road, others through woodland and along stoney paths.
⚠️ Caution: it's likely to be wet and slippery in parts, and the weather can change quickly as there are mountains and hills surrounding the reservoir. Sensible footwear such as hiking boots or trail shoes advised. Suitable clothing should be worn/brought, including a waterproof jacket and spare warm layer, hat and gloves in a small rucksack.
The walk will go ahead in most weather but nay be cancelled if deemed a risk to those participating.
☕ No cafe or toilets along the route. Why not bring a flask and some snacks for a warm up along the way?
There are a number of pubs nearby including the Red Cow Inn on Main Road, Ponsticill, should you wish to stop for refreshments on the way home.
🚗 PARKING: Free parking
👩👦👦 Adult only hike, all women welcome.
🐕 Well behaved dogs are welcome but should be kept on a leads near the road.l sections.
