Tretower Walk
This weekly walk takes you to the beautiful, medieval town ‘Tretower’. Tretower is a very small village with an authentic feel. You are surrounded by history. This weekly walk is the perfect opportunity to explore the history around you, whilst enjoying the breathtaking views.
The Walk
This local walk doesn’t take you onto a mountain, but it is a local favourite and an easily accessible walk with beautiful views!
TIME
2 hours
DIRECTIONS
- Walk to the bottom left of the campsite, through the gate, across the road and over the bridge
- Turn left after the bridge, and then walk 30 metres to the first field and stile on your left
- Enter the field and walk across in a straight line to the stile
- Instead of following the road, turn left after the stile into the green lane/bridleway
- After 15 minutes of an easy path, you will meet a stone bridge over the stream
- Turn left just before the stream, over a stile- signed Tretower. Head down the valley, keeping to the stream on your right
- After 30 meters, pass through a small metal gate into a narrow strip of recently planted woodland
- Keep straight ahead and pass through a second, small silver gate. Go through this and immediately through a big metal gate. Here you see the castle for the first time, directly ahead
- On the other side of this field, pass through a big silver gate, over a flat concrete bridge, and continue directly towards the castle. At the far side of this field, you emerge onto a village lane at an old chapel on the left side
- Continue walking forward to the junction, where on your right you will see the Medieval Court and Castle.
- To return to Cwmdu, there is a pavement alongside the road to the northernmost point of Tretower village.
- After that, you have to walk along the main road for 200-300 meters before turning right into a rough track
- This green lane will take you straight back to the top of the campsite
