A lovely, moderate walk that takes you directly from the campsite to the beautiful village of Tretower, where you will find the Castle and Medieval Court. This walk offers beautiful views across the valley to the peaks of the Black Mountains, without having to go up any significant hills and gives the opportunity to stop for an ice cream at the Castle shop at your halfway point.
The Tretower Loop – 1.5 hours (no hills!)
- Turn right out of the top of the campsite and walk along the lane for approx. 200 metres, continue straight onto the green lane
- Follow the green lane for approx. 20 minutes until you reach the main road. Turn left and follow the road towards Tretower. Please be cautious as there is no footpath for 200 metres; if possible, walk on the grass verge on the right-hand side of the road.
- Walk through Tretower village and take the second right towards Tretower Court and castle. Either follow the road around the right to carry on with this walk,
or continue straight to see the castle and visit the shop for a coffee or ice-cream.
- Rejoin the route and continue along the road for about 300 metres until you come to a metal gate in front of you with a footpath sign on the right-hand side (sometimes hidden by the hedge). Go through this gate and follow the hedge line across the field.
- Cross the concrete bridge and go through another gate (Be aware that there are sometimes cows grazing in this field). Continue straight across the field to another gate directly ahead of you.
- Follow the footpath alongside the stream until you reach a stile. Go over the stile and turn right.
- Follow the bridleway until you reach the road. There will be a big oak tree in front of you, and to the left of it, there is a gate and stile. Go through the gate and cross diagonally across the field.
- Go through the gate onto the road, turn right across the narrow stone bridge and continue along the lane. Cross over the road and through a narrow metal gate into the bottom of the campsite.
Please remember to leave gates as you find them and keep dogs on lead if near livestock
