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😀

This summit with beautiful views over the Black Mountains on the border between Wales and England, felt like the real start of the Beacon Way.

Pen Y Gadair Fawr has a big cairn on its summit at 800m. It's a subsidiary peak of Waun Fach but probably offers better views standing at the head of the Grwyne Fechan valley. Normally run as part of the excellent Waun Fach horseshoe from either Llanbedr or Crickhowell.

Skirrid (Ysgyryd) Fawr is an outlier of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons), set within the Black Mountains on the eastern edge of the National Park. The obvious route from the car park makes a great run, heading to the south up the beautiful main ridge. You can drop off the steep side to loop around the mountain, or turn round and speed back down the ridge. The summit at the northern end of the ridge has a trig point standing at 1,595 feet (486 m). The intriguing remnants of both an Iron Age hill fort and mediæval chapel are quite obvious here. Skirrid is also the first (or last) peak on the Beacons Way and the Abergavenny Three Peaks loop.

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.

Twmpa, also known as Lord Hereford’s Knob has a sweeping, wedge-shaped profile. It forms part of the awesome north eastern escarpment of the Black Mountains, just a couple of miles over the border from England and offers you a gorgeous (if at times boggy) ridge run. The quickest route up Twmpa ascends from the car parking at Gospel Pass. Just make sure you've warmed up as it's a challenging start for cold muscles!

Great place for an exhilarating walk and views I walk this mountain once a week. So don't rush up this mountain from the start it gets quite steep further up and some big steps once you're at top it's well worth it.

Absolutely stunning small circular easy enough to follow level of fitness easy.

Pen y Gadair Fawr is an 800 metres (2,625 ft) high subsidiary summit of Waun Fach and the second highest peak in the Black Mountains in south-eastern Wales.

bit of a scramble but nothing to difficult my 6year old smashed it.

When the cloud clears the views are stunning, easy to access from the parking and an easy path up to it.

A great hike up...486 metres to see the most amazing views. Stunning. 🤗

This is a beautiful area and is popular with hikers, paracenders, bikers and the general population at large. There is a narrow single track road, with ample passing places, that passes over the common below Hay Bluff and it goes onto the famed viewpoint of the Gospel Pass. There's the main car park below the Bluff but there's also ample parking off the road in dry weather too. Super place for family picnics and walks.

An iconic local Nuttall easily accessible from the car park at Gospel Pass. There are a multitude of walks in the area.
