Keep fit walk on Garn Goch
Today I helped Wyn run a guided walk up to Garn Goch. The walk is part of series of walks aimed at helping people get fitter.
Garn Goch is a 236m high hilltop near Bethlhem right on the Western border of the park. It is perhaps. Garn Goch translates as ‘the red cairn’ which is thought to be a referal to a burial mound which lies within larger of the two iron age hillforts on top of the hill as well as the red hue the hill takes on in Autumn when the bracken covered hillsides die back. There are two hillforts on garn goch - Y Gaer Fach (’The small fort’) and Y Gaer Fawr (’The large fort’). Garn Goch is the largest and one of the finest examples of Iron age hillforts in Wales.
