Moel y Golfa is a small mature wood in the Breidden Hills, some 5km northeast of Welshpool. Buses run to Middletown from where it is possible to walk straight up into the wood. There is a path along the bottom of the hill and another which goes straight up the tightly packed contours to the summit of Moel y Golfa at 403m. The impressive monument that stands on the central hump atop the summit of Moel y Golfa is apparently dedicated to two gypsy kings. You can see across the Severn Valley all the way to Cadair Idris 60 km away. It is a UK listed Marilyn.
