self-guided walking

Doethie Valley Walk
Route #35

Easy tracks and paths through grassy uplands, starting from the remote Soar-y-mynydd chapel with an easy climb and an optional detour to the summit of Pen y Gurnos (456m). The walk then follows a delightful path down into the Doethie valley, and follows the Doethie upstream for 2 miles, before returning on a straightforward track.

Can be combined with a visit to Tregaron (street market on alternate Tuesdays) or to the new bird hide at Cors Caron.
