Leave the town square and turn left on the main road. Cross the river and turn right. Almost immediately cross over the road and take the path signposted "Coed Duon 1.6 km". Go through a metal gate (usually open) and straight across the field, keeping as close as possible to the factory building, and at the edge of the narrow wood take a path uphill to the right. At the top climb 7 steps, cross a stile at the edge of the wood and head half left across the field to the double telegraph poles. |

Turn right and follow the
wire fence to a stile at the edge of the wood. Head slightly left towards
a telegraph pole and cross the stile nearby. (An
optional detour can be made by turning right at this point to visit Coed
Cefn Ila, a
large and very pleasant Woodland Trust site offering a number of paths.)
Turn left on a narrow lane, turn right at the T-junction
and after 50 metres take the bridleway on the left. |

Shortly, near a telegraph pole on the left, continue ahead, following the white bridleway arrow (on a post). Go through a small wooden gate (with a blue arrow) and follow the track to another small wooden gate. The track eventually descends steeply past some houses to the hamlet of Llanbadoc.

Turn left on the road and shortly turn right at the telephone box to the area called Llanbadoc Island, passing St Madocs Church. Turn left on the riverbank, shortly rejoining the road. Follow this back to the bridge and then to the town square. |
