Entering the forestry we visit a small reservoir before a short but steep climb to a main path where we'll ascend to the

larger hidden reservoir of Cefn-Cwrt, high above the surrounding countryside.

We'll then use a little known path in this most beautiful forestry/woodland, walking on a carpet of golden leaves.

There will be extensive views over the Swansea bay coast before descending the inland section of the Wales Coast Path to McDonalds at Briton Ferry

(No! we’re not stopping for a McFlurry or a hot chocolate!).

We’ll join the Neath Canal towpath on our way back to the very beautiful Jersey Park and our waiting cars.

***There is plenty of scope to adjust this route and make it shorter if weather is bad.

Please note we will meet at the same place as we met for my walk last January but it is a very different walk
