It was a lovely hike to the top of the mountain. highly recommended this place. We enjoyed lot. 😍😍😍😍😍

A great walk up through the woods and fantastic views from the top.

A lovely hill with great views and some lovely loops around the broad summit. The burial mound topped by a trig point is visible from miles around and provides a real location marker around South Wales. Lots of great walks up and it's a real slice of wilderness above the capital city of Cardiff. A great sunset and sunrise location, and if walked from the bottom it's a great bit of exercise as well.
