Storey Arms to Fan Fawr is a very pleasant affair. It is a good workout and considerably less busy than on the Peny Fan side of the range. An up-and-back tab will get your heart going and will be a really nice outing, or you could do the long horseshoe via Craig Cerrig Gleisiad, across to Fan Llia, and then drop down to Ystradfellte Reservoir. After that, you do the long haul up to Fan Fawr from the back end. Should you want route details and further information, click here: komoot.com/tour/267238063

Hiking

Fan Fawr is a mountain summit with a summit height of 734M!!! This true beauty of a mountain Fan Fawr is located in the Fforest Fawr section of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
The summit overlooks the steep eastern face and is marked by a cairn. Unusually, the trig point on this hill does not sit at the summit but 600 m to the south-west on a subsidiary spur. The hill is drained to the west by streams flowing into the Afon Dringarth and to the east by streams draining into the Taf Fawr.
