Cyfarthfa - Merthyr

 

3rd Jan 2017

 

We had a beautiful crisp day, perfect for walking, and started the walk at Cyfarthfa Castle, Merthyr.

We walked along the Taf Fechan as far as Pontsarn, and then along the edge of Darren Fawr, overlooking the Tall valley.

We went as far as the Llwyn-On reservoir, and returned on the West side of theTall valley

developed in the 18th & 19th centuries by the Crawshay family.
