ランベイノーでののおすすめランニングルート

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

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.

The Cat's Back is the long narrow and very runnable ridge south of Black Hill. It's on the eastern edge of the Black Mountain range so gets brilliant views east into England. Exposed so can feel hard in high winds.

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).

Chwarel Y Fan is one of the tops on the ridgeline that runs southwest from Rhos Dirion. It's normally visited while running this ridge, often as part of the loop of the Llanthony Valley. There is no trig point but a good cairn at 679m.

Bal Mawr at 607m has a prominent trig point at the first properly high point of the ridge. It's often run as part of the excellent Llanthony horseshoe and is also reached on both the Beacons Way and the Cambrian Way trails. Great views from the summit.

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.
