Walk Description
A valley walk above Bridgend going alongside a river,
following a ridge walk with views to the coast and surrounding hills
then descending back through an oak woodland.
From the Fox & Hounds, cross the road and turn right.
Turn left into Meadow View and ascend to the footpath on the right between the houses.
At the road turn left for about 1.5 miles.
At the crossroads, continue straight ahead through the gate by the house and ascend.
The upper part of this path can be very muddy!
Join a single track road to the common.
Turn right off the road and follow the path uphill for 360 degree views.
Follow the path to the Trig Point. Continue straight on.
A steep valley descends to the right but keep to the top, bearing slightly right towards the fields.
Continue parallel with the fields, until a stile is reached where the ground is rocky from motorbike damage.
Go diagonally across the grass to another stile and a dirt track.
Turn left and at the road junction go right downhill. Take the footpath to the left at the end of the stone wall.
Pass through a gate and descend the right fork into the woodland.
Watch carefully for the right turn in the woodland to descend through the trees to the bottom path.
Turn right and descend to the gate by Hendre Post Farm.
Continue downhill on the track and bear left under a railway bridge.
Just before the road turn right along another track.
Join the busy road and take care walking about 300 yards to the T-junction and the pavement back to the start.
Ramblers Cymru and Swansea Ramblers provide these routes but accept no responsibility for those walking them.
