Trawsallt Walk
|
Trawsallt is a hill-top with a shelter cairn, about 5 miles south-east of Blaen-y-ddôl, with wonderful views over the Ystwyth and Teifi valleys. The route starts out up our valley to Pontrhydygroes, then climbs through sheep pastures with good views over the site of Hafod mansion, before entering Bwlchgwallter forest, where a short detour can be made to see the largest beech tree in the British Isles. Tracks lead up through the forest, with panoramic views opening out higher up. We then leave the forest for the final climb to Trawsallt cairn. The return is on a delightful gradual downhill track through open country to Ysbyty Ystwyth, then a woodland path to finish.
