It takes in a range of different paths and landscapes, from the semi-reclaimed industrial spoil tips to the narrow paths of the hill, one of the highest in South Wales as well in excess of 400m for large parts of this walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The views are broad, the paths are peaceful and the walking both challenging and gentle in equal parts. A recommended route, but be warned the steep section is steep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div  id=\"_ytid_72380\"  width=\"1290\" height=\"725\"  data-origwidth=\"1290\" data-origheight=\"725\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4heBAVVD-is?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"YouTube player\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/4heBAVVD-is\/maxresdefault.jpg\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lovely loop taking in a pond, some lonely paths, a trig point and some CEN benches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4336,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[268,263,286,277,17,377,313],"tags":[112,113,157,200,237,239],"class_list":["post-4209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-caerphilly","category-challenging","category-pond","category-torfaen","category-welsh-hills","category-woodland","category-youtube","tag-hiking","tag-hill-walking","tag-mynydd-twyn-glas","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\/4209","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=4209"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4209\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4357,"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4209\/revisions\/4357"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thewalkingkev.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
