A high and bleak place - great walking country!

Waun Fach is the 3rd highest peak in South Wales after Pen y Fan and Corn Du. It has prominence of 600 meters

Wonderful ridge riding at its best. Just watch out for the drainage culverts they re brutal.

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.

If you’re into ancient history, seeing an old cairn on top of an Iron Age hillfort is very exciting!

How Crug Hywel looks like when approaching it from the south!

As our lovely Zoe has outlined, The Blaen-y-Glyn Uchaf and Wellington Bomber Memorial Trail is a great walk to do, and it is also not that difficult. The war memorial itself is one of the most scenic viewpoints in the Brecon Beacons.

Two boundary stones stand, almost like graves, on the ridgeline leading up to Waun Fach. There are several others around this area of the Black Mountains. It's not entirely clear why these were necessary, but they date back to 1796 when Mr John and Mrs Mary Macnamara purchased the Llangoed estate. There appears to have been some dispute about the extent of the estate, and these stones were installed due to this.
