A fascinating route which circumnavigates Foel Cae’r-berllan starting in the village of Abergynolwyn. We walk along a valley with the Afon Dysynni hemmed in at its base before veering off above Coed Cae’r-berllan and approaching Castell y Bere, which is prominent on a rocky outcrop and described as one of Wales’ most romantic castles, and we'll have time to explore the ruins. We take in the church of Llanfihangel-y-Pennant, famous for Mary Jones, who in 1804 walked barefoot 26 miles from the village to Bala to buy a Welsh Bible.  This led to the formation of the British and Foreign Bible Society, and Mary Jones World, a heritage centre about her life is located near Bala.

We return along the cwm of Nant-yr-eira, initially through woods and then along an open trackway leading us back to Abergynolwyn
