There is a moderate slope to the main part of the reserve. There is a narrow kissing gate with a stone step at the start of the path, which leads to a flight of steps or a path to the right which has a 1:5 gradient. The path is compacted stone with several small water drains crossing the path itself. Once through the gate, the path varies between wide, compacted grass tracks and narrow ruts. More information is available on the easier access web page. A leaflet is available from the Countryside Council for Wales and local information centres.
