This is one of my favourite parts of the country to walk in so why not join me for this stunning walk.

Our day starts in Capel-y-ffin a tiny hamlet consisting of not much more than a chapel, a Monastery (converted to self catering accommodation now), a couple of farms, a pony trekking company and a phone box.   We'll take our time and climb through the valley all the way to Twmpa otherwise known as Lord Herefords Knob.   Here you can enjoy the stunning views across to Hay on Wye whilst eating your packed lunch.

We'll then follow the Cambrian Way path along the Darren Lwyd Ridge taking in more stunning views of the Black Mountains before a steep drop back into Capel-y-ffin.

Although the route is only 8 miles it can be very muddy in places and involves a long climb to Lord Hereford's knob and a steep decent at the end.

Whilst Dogs are most welcome on the walk it is likely they will need to remain on a lead throughout the walk.  When not passing through farm lands there are sheep and wild pony's grazing on the open land.
