Please walk to leave our car park, and turn left onto Watling Street and follow it round to the main road junction A470. Walk across the main road veering right towards the stone bridge. Walk over the bridge and pass the Tu Hwnt I’r Bont ( the hut at the bridge) on your right, and step on to your scooter when on the pavement.

Turn Left towards Gwydor Castle

Do Not Turn Right – Dangerous Road

Turn Right and Start Your Ascent

IMPORTANT
It is the law, PEDESTRIANS ALWAYS have right of way ! Be curtious and always stop scootering to pass pedestrians on a typical pavement, as you do not want to bump into them.

For about 400 yards on the curve of the bend you will see on the opposite side of the road another road leading up, and sign posted to Gwydir Uchaf Capel.
Take this road and start your ascent.
At the top of the hill it levels off and there is a turning left to head up a smaller hill.
You are now on the fairly level part of the Nant, and where you turn right and within 50 yards you are presented with a wooden bench to sit and take in the views.
