Gilfach & Wye Valley Walk
Route #37

Gilfach is a beautiful old timber-framed farmhouse and nature reserve owned by the Radnorshire Wildlife Trust. Our route is mostly easy going along ancient moorland tracks and paths; Short Option has 2 miles along a very minor road beside the Wye. Both routes visit Gilfach farmhouse and traverse part of the Wye Valley Walk; Standard Route gives even better views of the Wye Valley, and wonderful Cambrian Mountains panoramas.
