Panoramic views west across the Wye Valley to the Welsh hiils beyond. The summit is a bit further east, marked by a wooden post.

Brilliant viewpoint and lots of route choices that run you south through the Black Mountains

Great views. Can be a bit muddy in winter. Wear good boots

Great walk that's pretty accessible for most people to achieve, challenging but doable! The route I took incorporated Lord Hereford's Knob. I published it on Komoot here: https://www.komoot.com/tour/1576268965 And on my blog here (with extra commentary for my own entertainment!): https://weekendwalk.co.uk/route/hay-bluff-walk/

Hay Bluff is a prominent hill at the northern tip of the Black Mountains, an extensive upland massif which straddles the border between south-east Wales and England. The mountain sits at the point where the main northeast-facing escarpment of the Black Mountains meets the northwest facing escarpment, the next peak to the west being Twmpa. The flat summit of Hay Bluff which is marked by a beautiful welsh dragon trig pillar at a height of 677 metres (2,221 ft) overlooks the middle Wye Valley and the book town of Hay-on-Wye.

Black Hill stands at the top of the Cat's Back ridge and south of Hay Bluff. The running here is really fun, with good trails underfoot and soaring ridgelines with very far-reaching views. The summit trig point stands at 2,100 feet (640 m).

Hay Bluff stands at 2,221 feet (677 m) at the northern end of a wonderfully runnable ridge. The Offa's Dyke path and the Llanthony horseshoe route both pass it. It's also a good, shorter loop from the Hay Bluff car park to the north, to include the excellent Cat's Back ridge if you have time. Great views to the north over Hay.

Black Hill stands at 2,100 feet (640 m) in the Black Mountain region of Bannau Brycheiniog national park. It's the summit of the awesome Cat's Back ridge to the south and links easily into a nice loop with Hay Bluff to the north.
