ロングタウン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

ブラックマウンテンの断崖の東端、何マイルも見渡せ、何マイルも離れた場所から見ることができます。

Easy accent if climbing from the side of the national trust carpark. For a more challenging climb, accend from the opposite side.

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

In terms of height, Pen y Gadair Fawr plays second fiddle only to Waun Fach as the Black Mountains' second highest summit. However, where Waun Fach's top is broad and relatively uninspiring, Pen y Gadair Fawr's is a little more like a peak in character. The summit is at a junction of paths: head east for Chwarel y Fan and the Mynydd Du Forest, venture south to Pen Twyn Mawr, or stride northeast to Waun Fach.

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/

Formally known as the Sugar Loaf Mountain and is one of the highest peaks in the heart of the Black Mountains. It stands at 1,955 feet high (596 metres). An iconic peak Its conical shape is reminiscent of a volcano, but the mountain is made of the same old red sandstone as the rest of the Black Mountains.

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.

The roads leading to the Sugar Loaf mountain are all very narrow, 1 car width. You may meet oncoming traffic and need to reverse 100m or more to a passing point. Do not be put off! The car park is small but does have an overflow area 200m before you get to it. The walk leads you naturally into a steep decline into a valley, possibly 130m lower. It doesn’t sound much but the climb from that position is significantly harder. My advice would be to walk around this valley and follow the alternate path. Namely when you walk from the car park do not aim for the top but go further to the left. So much easier to do. The views are stunning and totally worth the effort. Enjoy komooters😀
