Low 50m High 315m Total Ascent 510m On Sundays, limited parking is possible in the bus stop (SJ0961369360) on the B5429. Other times roadside parking is the only option. From the bus stop head towards the nearby junction and turn left into a lane then, after 250mtrs turn right onto lane. Stay on the lane, crossing the ford at Tyn Y Celyn (SJ1024669206) to continue upwards onto the footpath. Keep to the hedgeline to cross the stile (SJ1063569346) and follow Offa's Dyke Path round to the right. After 1¾ Km the track emerges onto a bend in a drive/track, keep to the right and go through the gate (SJ1210468963). This is a good place to stop as there is a fallen tree which can seat several people and you are only 50mtrs short of the highest point on the walk. |
Continue along the path then, just as the path starts to bend to the left, take the lesser path off to the right (SJ1205768884). (If you are still on the main path when the land on the right becomes enclosed, you have missed the path. Look down the hillside and you should be able to see the intended path about 20mtrs below the main path).
Stay on the lesser path to emerge on to a lane (SJ1186168135) and turn right.
At the T-junction go left, then, after 160mtrs, take the signed footpath at Gelli Bugail off to the right.
Follow the path then turn left onto the lane at Berth Farm (SJ1110668624).
After 800mtrs look for a house, Bryntirion Ucha, on the right , then be vigilant looking for the footpath sign through the garden of the next house (Clwydfryn).
The footpath sign and house name can be easily missed when coming down the hill. Footpath enters garden from parking area then turns right to a stile.
Follow the footpath across the fields to emerge onto the lane at Tyn Y Celyn (SJ1024669206). Turn left to retrace your steps back down the lane then left at the T-Junction and back to the start.
