    Twmpa, or Lord Hereford's Knob, is a mountain in southeast Wales, forming a part of the great northwest scarp of the Black Mountains. It lies 1.86 miles (3 km) west of the border with England, and around 4.34 miles (7 km) south of Hay-on-Wye. To the northeast lies the Gospel Pass, through which runs a minor road between Hay and the Llanthony Valley. A ridge known as Darren Lwyd tapers away for about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the southeast of the summit.

      An iconic local Nuttall easily accessible from the car park at Gospel Pass. There are a multitude of walks in the area.
        When the cloud clears the views are stunning, easy to access from the parking and an easy path up to it.
