This walk takes you to the highest point on the Elan Estate at 641 metres (2104 feet). There are two climbs - 280 metres over 3 km and 60 metres over 0.5 km. There is a lot of rough and wet ground, and great care is needed when crossing Nant Paradwys, especially in winter. Please do not attempt this walk if visibility is poor. This walk should take around 5 hours.
