Public footpath in Hensol Forest

The footpath leaves the forest track and enters the trees at this point. Go straight forward at this point until you reach the fence. Then follow the line of the fence until you reach the next forest track!

The fields in this area seemed to be very well kept. The views are extensive - even on a cloudy day.

This summer meadow is lovely to walk through, above a horse paddock adjacent to the hamlet.

The stables marked on the map here obviously train horses in starting out of these gates.

Ponies grazing in paddocks near Coed Leision

These ponies enjoy such peaceful paddocks that I made them jump and gallop off when I entered the field through the gateway here. They soon recovered their composure though and returned to their peaceful lifestyle.
