Precipice Walk
|
The Precipice is actually an escarpment - Tarren Bwlch-gywn - and not as precarious as it sounds - though it is a truly spectacular place for a coffee-break. The walk includes sections of Glyndwr's Way and the Cambrian Way, mostly on tracks and small paths across high moorland. Long Option is an excellent (but fairly tough) alternative finish to the walk, involving an unusual route up Plynlimon; it is not suitable for inexperienced walkers.
