Track heading north west Also a public footpath, it heads into the uplands east of Aran Fawddwy, eventually reaching Bwlch Sirddyn. In the days before open access land was established, this was the only public route into the area; those who strayed off it were liable to waylaid by eagle-eyed farmers. I know!
