Start on Waterloo Rd. next to Penybont Farm (Walk 13). The path goes between David’s Way and Clos y Cwm, then over Nant Wrach.
It passes between un-cultivated fields - a joy if you like wild flowers.

This walk seems to have a lot of history attached - by the enclosed areas and wide old tracks. I’ll have to do some research & update this when I’ve found out. Along the track, you reach Walk 9. Turn left and after a couple of hundred metres, bear left (the right fork is Walk 11). This bit is a bit muddy. |

When you reach an open field, aim for the opposite corner on the right. If you go to the left, you’ll get to some ancient woodland. There’s a gate onto Waterloo Terrace at the end of the field. Turn left along the footpath at the side of Waterloo Rd. & back to the start at Penybont farm. |
