The Bunny Walks
In 2006 our group produced, at Llantrisant Community Council's request, the first series of six circular walks. In the following year we purchased way-marking disks from our own funds.
In 2019 these leaflets were showing their age and an updated set of leaflets were produced by a collaboration between Llantrisant Community Council, Ramblers' Cymru and Taff Ely Ramblers. The cost of production of the leaflets has been supported by players of the Peoples Postcode Lottery while the Community Council provided new way-marking disks.

When a dip is entered after entering the woods follow this dip to the left and exit when a gap appears
on the right. Then head up-wards towards the farm.

The Rabbit Logo
The rabbit logo that has been used for this series of six walks was first used in the 1970s to designate selected footpaths in the Llantrisant area. Rebbecca James and Zoe Azzopardi, who where members of the 1st Llantrisant Brownies, designed the logo.
