It takes longer to reach Cwm-du than Cwm Cerrig-gleisiad (see ssss1 for approaches to Pont Blaen Cwm-du) and it does not exhibit quite the same pristine freshness.

Craig Cerrig-gleisiad (FF L1)

Senni Valley (FF L3)

Seen from the barren uplands of Fforest Fawr the Senni Valley appears like a jewel.

No directions are needed for an exploration of the Senni Valley. The map shows plenty of paths and lanes, and there are even more on the ground. The upper reaches of the valley, beyond Llwyn-Hydan, are splendidly wild and impressive.

Mellte Valley (FF L4)

This hauntingly beautiful walk cries out for inclusion, despite being some distance from the hills.

Start from Porth yr Ogof at 928124. There is a parking area close by. A valley path follows the densely wooded Mellte gorge for a time, later veering E to climb the slopes above the Hepste before descending to the riverside again, close to the waterfalls at Scwd yr Eira at 929100. The path actually continues into a recess behind the falls. There are numerous other falls and potholes en route.
