From Ffordd Cae Newydd look for the Memorial Slate on your right hand side of the lane. Turn here and approx 100yds on the right is the entrance to the walks, forest track and parking area. Please remember to close the gate!
There is a very easy to follow 3 mile circular route with no stiles or serious hills.
There's a surprising number of things to look out for; a Bronze Age burial cairn, a small lake that's not where you'd expect to find it, and old quarry workings too.
This is a worked Forestry Commission area, so the path may occasionally be closed.
