Gelli Ddu / Black Covert
A walk from Gelli Ddu/Black Covert NRW car park, Thu, 19 Apr 2018 by Rudi Winter
A quick evening stroll from the National Resources Wales car park at Gelli Ddu/Black Covert near Trawsgoed. This is just a flat walk through mixed woodland by the side of the Afon Ystwyth. On this occasion, the path was blocked in several places because windblown trees were scattered throughout the forest. This necessitated a few detours to the edge of the woodlands, with views across farmland in the Ystwyth valley.
On the map below, the grey line is the GPS track from this trip. Click the blue circles to see a photograph taken from that spot and read further information about the location. The blue lines indicate the direction of view. There is also a slideshow of this trip. ( )
