There are walks by rivers, past waterfalls, including the famous Swallow Falls, over hills and up Tal y Fan mountain. They follow miners' paths and waymarked trails through Gwydwr Forest Park past upland lakes and the relics of a once thriving lead-mining industry. They take you along Roman roads, and past ancient upland burial chambers, standing stones and remote churches.

Each walk in this essential guide has a map and description which enables the route to be followed without further help. The location of each route is shown on the back cover, and a full summary of the major characteristics and length of each is described on a special chart inside. An estimated time for each walk is also given.
