A moderate 6 1/2 mile circular walk passing through fields and along small country lanes with several climbs that lead to some fantastic views.

Leaving Cwmdu we pass through the farms of Cefn-hendre and Llethr-mawr then climb up through fields to reach an attractive small lake on the Taliaris Park Estate.

The route then goes around the Gaer Plantation to Cwm-ceiliog-fawr with views across the Towy Valley and in good visibility to the Carmarthen Fans and the Brecon Beacons.

On reaching a road we pass the 17th century Taliaris Mansion with even better views of it as we pass through a field in front of the house. After another field we rejoin a road and head uphill passing near the Iron Age Hill fort of Maes-y-Castell.

We continue along a lane and then downhill through Parcmawr and through fields to cross a footbridge and walk along a stream , eventually coming to the road at Capel Hir where we turn right to return to the start.

There are several areas of mud, so please wear suitable footwear.

NB There is no phone signal in the village.
