There's an old mining tip at the top of Mynydd y Grug which somewhat adds to the atmosphere here. Around you, you can see mining history embedded into the hillside but raise the eyes a little and on a clear day the views are exceptional. It's an interesting mixture of human incursion and natural terrain.

On clear days, you can see over to Brecon, Cardiff and even Bristol. The walk up is an enjoyable, short trip from the car park just past Bryn Meadows.
