6. Onllwyn-The Welsh mining village where lesbians and gays supported the miners – 9 miles
Explore the area where London lesbians and gays came to support the mining community of Onllwyn during the miners strike in 1984/5.
See actual locations where "Pride" was filmed. Not seen the film? We recommend you do.
We can go behind Henrhyd, the highest waterfall in South Wales and walk on a Roman road beside the sites of the fort and camp.
St Patrick is said to have been born here.
The terrain includes a steep descent to waterfall, and uphill on the Roman road. Otherwise a fairly level route on moorland, fields, tarmac lanes and stony tracks. Can be muddy in places and there are several stiles.
