Useful Information Things to do Pub Walk THE WOODLANDS - WELL LANE - SLADE'S COTTAGE - YSGUBOR KEMEYS - RETURN TO THE WOODLANDS Length of walk about 2 1/4 miles. Park at the Woodlands Tavern car park.   On leaving 'The Woodlands Tavern' take the narrow left-hand road (Well Lane) and proceed uphill to its end. Note the village well about 250 yards on the right-hand side. A little further, on the left-hand side, are the renovated buildings of the old Village Farm. New farm barns have been constructed further up the lane on the right-hand side.   Proceed to the end of the lane and Slade's Cottage, extended over the years from a small dwelling. Just past the cottage on the left is a gate with a stile, cross the stile and bear immediately right, negotiating the stream. Continue up the field, keeping the fence and trees on your right. As you approach the top right-hand corner of the field head towards a large tree near a gap in the stone wall. Pass through the gap and cross The stile. Follow the path keeping the thatched cottage on your right. Recently the cottage was renovated and became part of the Gray Hill Village Historic Project.   Past the cottage at the paths' junction, turn left and follow a pleasant woodland path, cross a stile and continue until reaching a junction with a bridleway that skirts the bottom of Gray Hill. Turn left at this junction and proceed down the metalled road towards the top of Llanvair Discoed. Turn left at the next junction and continue downhill to "The Woodlands' noting the Castle remains (within private property) above the churchyard. In the church porch is an interesting inscribed stone which was originally situated as a stone stile in the boundary wall of the churchyard, near the stone shed.
