This walk is a tree lovers delight just north of Cardiff. We start by going to the most southerly named mountain in the UK before heading east along the Rhymney Valley Ridgeway and back via Craig Llysfaen with its magnificent views over Cardiff and the Bristol Channel. We start and finish at the beautiful Cefn Onn Park.
If you are going straight to the start, the route from J30 of the M5 is fiddly and is not signposted. Allow a little extra time in case you get lost in the housing estates.
Bring a packed lunch. Pub to finish.
Walk Leader: Chris A ( (Phone number removed) )
Meet: 9.15am at The Water Tower (Clifton)
Alternatively meet at 10:15 at Cefn Onn Country Park, Livane

How do I join the walk?
Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.
On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there.
If sharing lifts passengers are expected to contribute towards petrol costs. Please bring coins or be prepared to make a bank transfer. As a guide, 30p/mile shared by everyone in the car.
How do I know what to bring? And am I fit enough?
We provide a full recommended kit list here. Please do bring water, a rainproof jacket, walking trousers (or similar) and walking shoes/boots – avoid jeans and trainers.
Walks are graded as either 1 boot, 2 boot or 3 boot. Read more about choosing the right walk for your fitness level here,
