      A beautiful hike around super beautiful Arundel castle taking in the surrounding lake and river views in a glorious English countryside setting. Arundel castle is a place of historic importance and superb architecture and looked magnificent on this sunny Autumn day.

The route has good paths that take you through the woods around a nice reservoir and then a visit to an ultra cool viaduct. There is even a half way tea and cake stop at the far end of the

    1. A wet drizzly day doing a great local peak but unfortunately not that much of a view. A great day out in great company though.

    1. A nice evening amble through town and up to one of the best viewing spots in our national park at Pen Y Crug on the outskirts of Brecon. This beautiful trig pointed summit complete with hill fort is somewhat of a precious local scenic jewel for a good reason ❤️.
