Recorded in March 2026, this was my most recent walk in the borough of Caerphilly. I've previously led groups up here but wanted to return to record this route for YouTube.

My walk is based on a route from the Walk West ebooks, pre-2013. I've had to alter it slightly, due to PROW issues but it could certainly be refined further, around the Ynys Hywel area.
