Ysbyty Common Walk
Route #1

The "common" is a small area of moorland near Ysbyty Ystwyth, with extensive views over southern Ceredigion. The route starts along woodland paths, then along the disused Aberystwyth - Carmarthen railway, and via a very scenic permissive path to the isolated church at Gwnnws. It then leads on field paths to Tynygraig, and up to the common, with excellent views south over the upper Teifi Valley, and of the Cambrian Mountains, before descending to Ysbyty Ystwyth, from where field and woodland paths lead back to Blaen-y-ddôl.
