This is a well sign-posted walk that forms part of the North Berwyn Way.  It starts in the hamlet of Rhewl and follows the Nant Y Pandy trail up the valley onto the moorlands.

Nant y Pandy path

Towards the end of this section there is a moderate incline that takes about 20 minutes to climb. At the end of the path you'll hit a road which you follow until you hit the forest, here take the path left which leads to moorland and great views down the Dee Valley.

Dee Valley

After about 15 minutes of walking you'll have the option of carrying straight ahead to ascend the Vivod Mountain or turning left and heading back down the valley (this is the only un-signposted part of the walk). The route back down the valley passes through copses and tranquil farmland before hitting the A5 and the end of the walk.
