Walking in the Cambrian Mountains

The Cambrian Mountains has a range of walking trails, exploring woods and waterfalls, and the ancient routes of medieval monks, the paths taken by romantic 19th century writers and poets in search of adventure, and the tracks of the hardworking drovers and miners.  Find quiet solitude on some of Ceredigion’s more challenging walks, and view the peaks of Snowdonia and the Beacons of south Wales from a different perspective - from the summit of Pumlumon.

Spirit of the Miners walks

Explore Ceredigion's mining heritage with the Spirit of the Miners walks from the Cardigan Bay coast to the valleys of the Cambrian Mountains.  The route, also known as the Mal Evans Way, links Borth, Talybont, Bwlch Nant yr Arian, Devil's Bridge and Pontrhydfendigaid. Circular routes explore individual areas in more detail.
