Rhiwderin, Lower Machen and Michaelston-y-Fedw
On a fine Sunday in October, we set out on one of my favourite local walks - and one that's accessible straight from our home in Rhiwderin. (Last year I contributed a variation of this walk to the Walkingworld website.)
Heading across the slopes of Fox Hill to Lower Machen, we followed the Rhymney River downstream to Michaelston-y-Fedw. After quenching our thirst in the Cefn Mably Arms, we climbed on to the ridge at Pen-y-lan, enjoying fine views across the Bristol Channel, before a final descent back to the main road through Rhiwderin.
For those interested, I've plotted the route onto the WalkJogRun website - see below. Some photos taken along the route - not all from this week, as you'll notice from the snow! - can be found here.
