Please car share if you can, the car park is small!

This beautiful circular walk takes in amazing views as we make our way to the summit of Waun Fach (the highest peak in the Black Mountains) and down the 'Dragon's Back', an undulating, winding ridge reminiscent of the mythical beast.

We will pass Castell Dinas, an Iron Age hillfort and castle, reputedly the highest castle in England and Wales at 450m.

There are some steep and rough sections along this trail where great care is needed, especially in wetter conditions when the paths become very muddy and slippery. Walking boots and warm layers are highly advised.

Bring snacks and sandwiches, and enough water for the day. We'll stop for lunch part way round.

Dogs welcome, please keep on lead while if pass livestock.

Pub stop afterwards at the Dinas Castle Inn.
