Description
This is a variation on Builla2 which has an access issue at Howey Brook. It avoids the track between Dolfawr Farm and Brynhir Farm as there is a stream with a fence but no stile or gate ( I have reported the access issue - but it didn't stop me climbing over the fence) . So this route takes a detour via Bryn-y-groes and Three Wells Farm.
This route is via Carneddau which is a great hill with fantastic views - but was very snowy and misty when I went. Its open access land so great to explore but you'll need a compass or map app to navigate safely

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

26 Nov 2023I created this route after hitting an access issue on Builla2 - which Powys Council still have not got back to me on 10 months later.
Anyway today I finally checked the detour and its an accessible detour ! The OS maps is a bit out but just follow the well marked path and you should be alright. Looks like the bridges over the streams were replaced some time ago but in different places to the original meaning the path does not match the OS map exactly - between Three Wells Farm and Bryn-y-Groes.
I originally walked this in January and there was a lot of snow on top of Carneddau and very beautiful - see Builla2 photos. On a less misty day there will be good views from the top.
A good walk between two good Welsh towns with plenty off opportunities to eat / drink / shop / sit in the park at either end. Its a lovely walk off the beaten path.
This also plugs a rather annoying gap I have in my Heart of Wales trail (using SlowWays) list of tested routes. Hopefully someone else will walk this beautiful part of Mid Wales using Slow Ways routes at some point !!
Variety of photos from the walk at different times of the year.
