Decent hike with 3 main peaks with constant descent and ascent straight after. Not a very challenging hike overall, depending on where you start it fromand how long you would like to make it. Up at the top it was very foggy, and super super widy. Some drops are very sharp so stay away from the ridge edges during windy conditions. Amazing view overall.

Fantastic walk up the side of this hill. I especially enjoyed the fact that we had a real reason to take this walk. The Diving board! We took a 10 mile circular walk that started and ended in llanfrynach. Great photos and of course magical views. The path is very well maintained and you will meet other hikers along the route.
