Walk across Craig Cerrig Gleisiad National Nature Reserve

This page was written by Christopher Spry.

This walk crosses the Craig Cerrig Gleisiad National Nature Reserve from East to West in the central part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The track shows the route I followed on 11 April 2004. This is an outstanding walk for those interested in Old Red Sandstone cliffs with their plants and wildlife, some of which is unique to this area. Two cars can be used as the walk is in one direction.

This map shows the route which I followed in April 2004.
