Guided Walk - Cwm Pwcca

This walk of about 9 km (6 miles) takes us along the Clydach Gorge, supposedly the haunt of fairies and reputedly (but no proof) once visited by Shakespeare.

We’ll visit the old Clydach Ironworks before following the valley of the Clydach River, with its spectacular group of waterfalls. We’ll then walk up the gorge, crossing the HoV road towards the Cwm Nantmelyn waterfall. We’ll return via Cheltenham Village, mourning en route the loss of the Drum and Monkey pub (if only for its name!). We’ll recross the road via the posh new footbridge, to return to our cars.
