12th May 2012
Caerphilly County Borough Council’s Countryside and Landscape Service, in conjunction with Cwmcarn High School and other partners, are once again throwing down a challenge to walkers of all abilities.
No matter how fit you are, there will be Challenge Walk to suit you from a canal-side 1 miler to the monster Twmbarlwm 23 miler.
Part one of the Challenge Series kicks off on Saturday 12th May with the return of the classic Twmbarlwm Trek.
For the most experienced walker, the self led 14 and 23-mile routes will take you through spectacular valleys’ woodland, farmland and across open moorland. Weather permitting, you will be treated to some fantastic views towards the Brecon Beacons, over Cardiff Bay, the Bristol Channel, Somerset and North Devon, before trekking up and over the spectacular iron age hill fort of Twmbarlwm and 3 of the highest points in the county. There is an entry fee of £6 for both these walks. Book before March 9th for an early bird fee of £4.
If you don’t fancy so many hills, then the Monmouthshire-Brecon Canal offers a range of shorter, flatter walks between 1-4.5 miles and there is no charge for the canal walk.
As in previous years, we expect demand to be very high so early entry is strongly advised.
