Starting point: Harford Square at the end of the high street.

Distance: 4 miles, circular walk.

Look out for a fountain placed here by Sir J.C.Harford of Falcondale - this was the first piped water in the town. Before WW2 there was a lamp standard in the middle of the square in the road but an American lorry knocked it down!

College street is the frontage for the University College est in 1822 and about 1500 students stay there. There is an equal number of internet students. They are a cosmopolitan bunch, many of whom have risen in the field of Arts & Crafts. Formerly an Anglican college, it was expanded in 1970 and admitted women for the first time.

The grounds are a geophysical site of interest with the Dulas tributary running through it. Below the college is the former railway station and the old line from Camarthen to Aberystwyth via Tregaron with a branch line to Aberaeron.

The route climbs uphill to an old farm, Mount Pleasant with a grand view of the town. The woodlands here were managed for their timber, for many centuries.

On top of the hill is open countryside, with the valley and farming on the other. The north side has a community woodland which is a conservation area but managed for wildlife and nature.

A pleasant walk takes us onto Allt Goch, the site of an old prehistoric fort, complete with a defensive earth ditch.

Down hill to the Teifi via an old mill bridge to the village of Cellan. Wandering the back roads there are many old farms and a restored mill. Crossing two fields, the stone stiles, re-built by Lampter Ramblers leads to a mixed farm - 'Llan Las' and back to Cwmann, across the bridge into town.
