Bedford Monument Walk (1 mile)
Making a circuit of Cefn Creigiau ridge, this walk provides fine views over the estate and avoids descending to the valley floor. The walk leaves the car park by following the track towards Pendre for a short distance, then branches left along a path on the edge of the woodland, with views across pasture to Hawthorn Cottage and Pendre, the site of Johnes’s home farm. A short climb brings you to a viewpoint and obelisk (restored in 1988) erected in 1805 to commemorate Francis, 5th Duke of Bedford, ‘the most judicious and munificent promoter of the National Agriculture’. Behind it is the small walled enclosure of Miss Mariamne Johnes’s Garden. By a zig-zag descent you reach the return path, which follows an evenly graded route to the church.
Although it is not a historical circuit, the Bedford Monument Walk had been retained as the shortest and most accessible walk from the car park.
It was a lovely day, i had a great time and would reccommend it to everyone!
