Pen y Garn Summit Trig Point

Recommended by 8 hikers

Pen y Garn lies in Mid-Wales’ glorious Cambrian Mountains, although it’s character is much more of a large, grassy hill. It rises to 2,005 feet (611 m) and provides wonderful views across its fellow tops and the sweeping conifer forest below. Immediately north of Pen y Garn is the Cefn Croes wind farm, the largest of the country’s onshore wind projects. Love them or hate them, the enormous windmills are seen magnificently from this mountain.
