This is a pleasant circular walk from the village of Tewin following good paths throughout. It goes through woodland, crosses open farmland, and involves quite a bit of up and down. There is a pub at the start and finish point and a cafe close by.

A lovely short walk with great views but not much shade along the way. For a short walk it does have a few up and downs, some are quite steep and could be tricky in very wet conditions. Look out for the pigs and alpacas, on your right, not long after you leave the church, just a very small detour to see them!
