Like neighbouring Caerphilly Mountain, Craig Yr Allt is a wonderful hill that makes an ideal objective for families, those new to hiking and every other adventurer up for a jolly. This hill lies immediately south west of Caerphilly and is easy to access from the town as well as from nearby Cardiff. It sits at 896 feet (273 m), and is easy going underfoot, with its grassy trails and heather-strewn hillsides.
