Tips

Hiking

South Wales' westernmost 2,000-footer at 2,021 feet (616 m), Garreg Lwyd is the last high outpost of the Black Mountain range. It makes for a very quick ascent from the A4069 road, where you can also explore the quarry workings, pits and lime kilns of Herbert's Quarry. Garreg Lwyd is also easily linked with Foel Fraith, its slightly smaller sibling to the east.
