Description

The sections of this route going into/out of both Tonyrefail and Porth are the same as for TONPOR2, but the middle section takes a more direct and more easy to follow route. If walking Porth to Tonyrefail, having walked uphill through Cymmer you leave the road just before the Trebanog roadsign and Chinese takeaway (picture 1); go slightly left and take the path toward the green fencing surrounding a substation (picture 2). There are a number of small paths on the hillside but the route follows the most prominent one - keep heading upwards until you see the cairn (pictures 3 and 4) - take a right at the next T-junction of paths so the cairn is to your left and walk between the cairn and the housing estate. Cross directly over the farm road - the path follows the fence and you will then soon turn left onto a well-marked path into Tonyrefail

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.

Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.
