About Sarn Helen Running Trail - Short
Forestry Commission Wales first waymarked running trails, planned with the assistance of the local Meirionnydd Running Club, following quiet forest tracks and footpaths (sometimes muddy!). The route climbs gently to the Cefndeuddwr ridge and contours round to return along the Sarn Helen, an ancient Roman road.
