Today I thought I'd take you somewhere I've only just discovered. I do all my filming with my phone and my wife bought me a new phone with a super duper camera on it so I thought I'd take it out to practice I'll find somewhere nice to film and I'll check out all the teclynau - the gadgets - on it so I popped in my car and I just looked around the little tiny Country Roads around where I live and I came across my first Cilfordd. Now Cilfordd in English, would be by way.
Now I'd never come across a byway before and they're Marvelous things. They're proper roads without any trappings of roads. There are no curbstones, no tarmac, no white lines, it's just a way across pastureland or a mountain, and like any other road you can walk down it, you can take your horse down it or your bike, your motorbike, or even your car if you think it can cope with all the
terrain. Now the byway I stumbled on was a very pretty place I thought, so I thought to myself must take my viewers there one day and today the day so you fancy coming are you ready come on then the walk begins in the quaint Village of Tron a place steeped in history dating back to 1086 and even earlier. Heading south from the village for about a mile, we come to a small turnoff. From here as is typical in Wales, the path starts to rise gradually at first but soon the incline becomes more demanding, and just when it seems unrelenting, the slope eases near a byway marker post offering a brief respite, but don't get too comfortable, because the climb resumes shortly afterwards.
Although we're now technically on the byway way there are still traces of a more formal roadway -likely maintained to service the house just ahead. Once we pass the house, the road surface vanishes leaving behind only a dirt track. The next stretch - about half a mile - is flanked by trees, creating the feeling of walking through a woodland. On a hot day like today, the shade provided by the trees is both cooling and most welcome.
The View really opens up now that we're
out of the woods, so to speak, and you have to marvel at how the farmer manages to perfectly plough fields on slopes like this. As ever in this part of the world, the pathway begins to climb once more taking us to the blue skies above. A farm gate overlooking the pasture land offers a convenient place to take a breather - and take in the view. The view is somewhat obscured by a heat Haze today but on a clear day the north Welles Coast is clearly discernible in the far distance t
Time to push on. The byway ends at this gate where it joins a proper road. If I were to follow this road for a couple of miles it would take me back to Tremeirchion, but here is a much prettier way. The acorn symbols on the gate posts let us know that we are now on llwybr Clawd Offa, the Offa's dyke path. Once again we find the welcome shade of trees offering a respite from the midday Sun, but with that shade comes yet another climb. There's always an upside to a challenge though and in this case, it's the magnificent view that awaits us at the top. As we step into open pasture land, the tree cover vanishes but fortunately, a layer of cloud and a refreshing breeze help keep us cool. Here the path meets a junction with a road and another byway but this time we'll follow the road
One of the delights of walking on unfamiliar roads is discovering way markers that lead to new footpaths waiting to be explored - like this one. Perhaps we'll pass on this particular path, for now. This road is incredibly quiet. I haven't encountered a single vehicle or even another walker. The roadside is adorned with magnificent Willowherb, a favourite of country kids for the flurry of down it releases into the breeze
Soon enough this peaceful Road merges with a main road (well a slightly Mainer Road anyway). After all that climbing we've been doing, it's inevitable that at some point we will go down again, and this road will take us all the way down to our starting point. Not far now, as the pentre Tremeirchion sign welcomes us back. Rounding the corner, I'm greeted by a very welcome sight - Dafarn y pentre - the Village Pub. Time for some well-earned refreshment. The Salsbury Arms is a community Pub owned by The Village. The sign declares this to be the village lawn, an ideal place to sit and have a nice refreshing pint but is it open? Yes it is.
