A circular walk with fabulous views

The Carreghofa Community Trail is a walk of two halves, either of which makes a circular walk in its own right. The first half is mostly level and easy, crossing low-lying fields then climbing a few steps up to the tow path leading back towards the village. The second half is more challenging, crossing level fields before following some fairly steep paths towards Llanymynech Rocks, with fabulous views across open countryside. Here, you can take detour to continue to the nature reserve at the top of the hill, otherwise you return down an initially steep and winding bridleway back towards the village and the starting point.

The walk starts and ends at Walls Bridge, a hump-backed bridge over the canal adjacent to the junction for Carreghofa Lane.

Distance: 3.5 miles (5.6km) Duration: typically 1.5 hours
Grade: easy (first half) to moderate (second half)
