Description

Start from New Radnor and walk around to the summit ofGreat Rhos. We then descended to the forest and headed to Black Mixen. We got to the Radio Mast and had lunch. We then headed back into the forest to pick up the path to Bache Hill before descending and walking up Whimble. We came down the other side and circumnavigated the forest before dropping back down to New Radnor.

Area : Radnor Forrest

Radnor Forest (Welsh: Fforest Faesyfed) is a rock dome in Mid Wales, and a forest only in the mediaeval sense of an unenclosed area used for hunting.[1] The highest point is Rhos Fawr or Great Rhos, a broad featureless plateau which reaches 660 metres (2,165 ft), and a similar plateau adjoining to the east, Black Mixen is the only Nuttall to have a communications mast (a radio transmitter) on its summit.[2] According to a legend, the local people built four churches in a circle around the Radnor Forest in order to contain the last dragon in Wales, who lay sleeping in the area.
