At 644 metres, Twyn Mwyalchod is another local and pretty accessible trig point. It can either be a reasonable short up-and-down hike, though a steep one, or you can make it a long day by adding it on at the end of the Pen y Fan Horseshoe. There are great views up the Neuadd valley to be had from here.

Very nice hike, pretty easy to find also. Highly recommended
Obviously there's a steep up looking directly at you if your walking from nueadd route that's your path and pace yourself or it will hurt. lol.
Great views over to Corn Du Penyfan and Cribyn from here and different sided stunning views up the Neuadd valley from this point too.
