Walking club

The next walk is scheduled for 14 November and is called Hafod and the Cavern Cascade.

The Hafod estate is regarded by landscape historians as one of the finest examples of the picturesque, a pleasure ground where natural views of broken mossy terrain, cascading water and trees were enhanced and engineered by the owner, Thomas Johnes (1748-1816).

Rocks were blasted, earth shifted, streams diverted and millions of trees planted.

As a result of this work, Hafod became one of the most visited places in Wales, a haunt of writers, artists and poets.

More recently, the Forestry Commission have wrought their magic. The walk is graded a grade B, moderate walk which should last approximately two hours and is over a distance of four miles.

The meeting point is outside Y Talbot at 10am.

Anyone wishing to become a member of the walking club should call Dafydd, the secretary, on 01974 298 150.
