Ogwr Ridgeway Walk (20km, 13 Miles)
Some of the most spectacular scenery and panoramic views in Wales can be enjoyed as you walk this 13-mile waymarked route from east to west across the mountain ridges. From windswept heights to wooded valleys, the scenery changes dramatically as you walk the Lower Pennant ridges from Mynydd y Gaer and Bryn Wrach to Mynydd Baeden and Mynydd Margam.
Be prepared and wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Even in the summer months, the weather can change dramatically on top of the hills. Refreshments can be obtained en route at Blackmill, Coytrahen and Llangeinor.
