Compiled by: Judy Cox | A 19km walk which explores the Craig Cerrig-Gleisiad National Nature Reserve, formed by the action of ice 20,000 years ago. The north-facing cliffs, which rarely see the sun, support rare arctic-alpine plants. Cwm-du, where Lorna Doone was filmed, has a similar ecology and is home to about 80 different bird species. |
| Compiled by: Jim Wilson | A high level 14km walk around part of the Central massif of the Brecon Beacons, with spectacular waterfalls and reservoirs and (weather permitting) stunning views of the landscape beyond. |

| Compiled by: Anne Pritchard | A varied 11km circular walk from a pub near Llanfihangel Crucorney, skirting the delightfully-named Strawberry Cottage Wood nature reserve, past Pentwyn Iron Age Hill Fort and onto the southern tip of Hatterrall Hill and Cwmyoy Church. |
