Parking: If you are intending to buy refreshments at the Plume of Feathers in Tewin, you will be able to park in the pub's car park if you pop in and let the staff know that you are parking there and will be stopping for a drink after the walk.

  1. Did this walk today. A little confused at the start. I've done several walks on this site and they've all had pictures and been very straight forward. This one was a little more challenging but the interactive map helped. Really enjoyed seeing the alpacas and a beautiful Highland cow. Happy to share some pictures of points along the route to help others.

    1. Hi Suz, yes, when we did the earlier walks we didn't take many pictures. When we revisit the walks we take new images and then edit the walks. If you have any pictures that you think would help clarify various point please do share them. Please use our contact form to get in touch. And thanks
