Gentleman's Walk
The Gentleman’s Walk, the second celebrated Picturesque circuit created by Johnes, passes through wilder scenery and steeper ground than the other walks at Hafod. The starting point for this walk is the Alpine Bridge, one mile from the car park.
Particular highlights on the walk are the beech tree grove at Pant Melyn, the Cavern Cascade, the Tunnel, the Mossy Seat Falls and bridge and the rustic bridge over the Bwlchgwallter stream.
