Then visit Crawshay Bailey's grave, an iron bridge (the first in Wales) and an inclined plane (used for tram cars carrying limestone down from the quarries). The route back along the canal will pass Bailey's house and the site of a breach in the walls of the canal (an all too frequent event, even now!).

Working with peat, wool, people and possibility.

Artist Pip Woolf has a novel approach to the problem of upland erosion in the mountains, to use a locally abundant, ecologically sound, biodegradable substance................sheep's wool. Working with over 500 volunteers, Pip has laid five, 300 metre long, lines of felted wool across a peat scar on Pen Trumau. This walk, which involves one steep climb, will see the results of the work begun in 2010.
