From there you follow a succession of public footpaths up to the summit and to the trigpoint. You can then make the walk circular by descending the Garth towards Cardiff and cutting around the hill back to the parking spot. I would recommend good walking shoes or boots as parts of the walk can be quite wet and muddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/the-miners\/\">Click here to see the rest of The Miners list<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Garth Hill is a wonderful viewpoint above Cardiff and offers a great variety of walks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3558,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"Garth Hill: Getting high above Cardiff","_seopress_titles_desc":"A great walk up the fantastic Garth Hill near Cardiff. 360 degree views from the Brecon Beacons North to the Bristol Channel and England South.","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[305,306,262,289,278,282,326,17],"tags":[101,112,113,200,237,239],"class_list":["post-3555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crags","category-instagram-spot","category-moderate","category-pub","category-rhondda-cynon-taff","category-river","category-the-miners","category-welsh-hills","tag-garth-hill","tag-hiking","tag-hill-walking","tag-south-wales","tag-welsh-hills","tag-welsh-valleys"],"blocksy_meta":[],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3555"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3555\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4260,"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3555\/revisions\/4260"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
