An undulating area of common land. It's a gentle climb from the Brecon side perfect for shaking off any cafe legs. The road is quite exposed so it can be a struggle if the wind is against you. A great warm-up if carrying on to climb The Devil's Elbow.

Beautiful singletrack tarmac road, gradual climb up where it then plateaus as you can see over the breadth of the Brecon Beacons.
