    Tips

    Hiking

    Mynydd Pen-y-fâl, to give Sugar Loaf its original Welsh name, is not a big hill. But because it stands separated from any other peak, including its brethren of the Black Mountains, it rises in wonderful isolation above the rolling landscape of Monmouthshire. To see it is to want to stand on its conical summit.

    Hiking

    The sugerloaf is one of the most famous and distinctive of the black mountains here in south Wales. A gentle ascent thought woodland gives way to a splendid gorse covered ridge.The approach might make use of spiral pathways that gives excellent all round views. Outstanding views and a sence of open space maintains interest throughout the classic conquest of one of the best known black mountains.

    Hiking

    The hike to the peak is a surprisingly tough one considering it’s height. The views from the top are spectacular, though. You can see across to the Brecon Beacons National Park, all of the surrounding Black Mountains, over to the River Severn and Abergavenny.
