Oldest man made structure in Herefordshire, and a rightly famous ancient monument in a superb setting.

Another incredible historic site. With free parking.

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

Great spot for a break

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.

Choice of two absolutely brutal climbs from the Wye valley to get here but rewarded with fantastic views across the Golden Valley towards the Black Mountains. If that felt like hard work, think of the people who moved the 25 ton capstone up here!

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).
