This is not the actual well known official route known as 'The Gap' which is a route labelled on the top a maps it clearly states that on the maps! This is not the gap of the Roman road!! BUT I’m-fact This is actually a T-junction!! It’s a saddle path that to the right side leads to routes of Craig Gwaun Taf | Cefn Cul | Graig Fan Ddu. To the Left of your view is Corn Du, then is the highest summit of South Eastern side of Wales, The Most well known tourist attraction Pen y Fan.

This is a stunning rest stop or general viewing point. The Romans would have said the same, at a guess! This highlight is just short of the 'Gap' proper; there you will have great views back down the Cwm Cwmwyn valley north towards Brecon. Then, towards the east, you will have Fan y Big, and to the west, you will have the imposing bulk of Cribyn.
