Walk 2498 - Gorllwyn circuit, Elan Valley
| Region | Cambrian Mountains | | County/Area | Powys | | Author | Paul Gasson | | Length | 6.8 miles / 11 km | | Ascent | 1430 feet / 433 metres | | Grade | easy/moderate |
This walk explores the wild and remote plateau above the Elan Valley in Mid Wales. It is a walk for the lover of solitude and huge skies, and demands good navigational skills, being virtually devoid of paths in what has been referred to as the Green Desert of Wales, with considerable justification.
