Sunday, 7 November 2021 Cerrig Lladron a fine walk with fine views

With the prospect of good weather ahead 20 walkers set out from the car park at Bwlch-gwynt for an 8 mile walk across the Preselis and along the Gwaun Valley.

After a steep climb to the cairn and view point on the summit of Foel Eryr it was downhill through Pen- lan-wynt to Treganon, on the edge of the Gwaun Valley.

At Treganon a detour was taken to visit the waterfall that can now be accessed via the permissive path installed by PCNP. From the foot of the water- fall there was a steep climb back up to the main path.

From Treganon it was downhill to the woods and along the Gaun Valley before following the fast- flowing stream up hill to Gellifawr, where lunch was taken.

After lunch we took the short walk north along the road to a footpath going south east around the slopes of Banc Du to Gernos-fach. From here it was across open access moorland passing to the south of Waun Mawn, claimed to be the original site of the Preseli Blue Stones now at Stone Henge.

On reaching the road and derelict buildings, a tree is growing from one of the chimney pots, at Tafarn-y-bwlch we turned right along the road to a footpath and a steep uphill climb to the Golden Road at Bwlch Pennant.

Whilst climbing the hill the summit of Foel Cwmcerwyn ( at 536 feet the highest point in Pembrokeshire) could be seen on our left, and looking back to the North the top of Carnigli stood out on the sky line.

From Bwlch Pennant it was a short walk back to the car park by 3.30.

It had been an excellent day’s walking with long spells of sunshine and after the walk those who wished to retired to the Tafarn Sinc for refreshments.

Many thanks to walk leader John Bayliss.
