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/

The highest peak in south wales and still a very easy one to reach with a short walk up the too straight and too perfect path from the parking. The view is well worth it and if you choose an exotic time or less good weather it is even relatively quiet up here. National Trust put a sign on top of th cairn which is the standard selfie spot here now - gives a bit mixed feelings as the cairn is an ancient burial site.

Only sligthly lower tha Pen y Fan and close to the 'bigger brother' these two peaks can ideally be combined. From a distance even a bit easier to recognize due to the pronounces plateau on top.
