Compared to the other walks, this is a strenuous walk but it provides lots of lovely views as it tracks the rim of the land around Penllyn Moors. About 1,000 feet of ascent. In return, you will see a secret filming location of Doctor Who, find a hidden well and walk through castle grounds.  There’s no risk of getting too tired, as there are 5 pub stops along the route!

  • 10 miles / 4-5 hours / 1,000 feet ascent
