| A circuit of Little Hill, Gwaunceste and Little Hill (the lower one) from SO 1409 5247. | summitsup | 12/07/2020 |
| Two Little Hills and one Little Mountain, do-da, do-dah.. in a day. This one I rode up from south, returning the same route to the road in order to cycle down the Edw valley. If only the Seven Stars had been open on this relentlessly sunny day. | Rob Rees | 25/05/2020 |
| Parked at Glascwm Church, then via Ty-gwyn & the Giants Grave. Shorter route back. Glorious, if a little windy day. | DanMaisieBex | 23/12/2019 |
| Parked at SO166543. Circular 14k walk bagging Little Hill, Gwaunceste Hill and Little Hill 2 (the sequel). Beautiful Easter Monday and saw nobody. | Ramblingpaul | 22/04/2019 |
| I set off from Glascwm on a rather murky cool winters day. After doing a 5k race in Builth Wells I wanted a cool down walk in these little visited hill. My first objective was the higher Little Hill. A Red Kite was quartering overhead on its long wings. I then headed over to Gwaunceste Hill on route I met a large party heading the opposite way. As I reached the summit trig the cloud lifted to give views all be it limited. There was a few tiny patches of snow close to the summit. It was hard to see but Radnor Forest looked to have had a covering. I descended in sunshine to the other Little Hill. On the latter I put up 5 Red Grouse. I headed down to the minor road and climbed steeply to the unmarked summit of Glascwm Hill. From the summit I headed down to the village in the gathering twilight. Time taken 3 hours 15 minutes for 8.25 miles. Other wildlife a Buzzard, Coal Tits and Blue Tits. | isabelle | 20/01/2019 |
| From the other Little Hill. Not a great idea if you are short of time or energy as it is a bit of a roller coaster but pleasant enough. | clivevilla | 28/01/2017 |
| From Hundred House (good car parking) past Rhiw Farm (loose collies but didnt bite). Good tracks all way. Vehicles allowed all way to Giants Grave if you wanted. | dicky | 17/09/2016 |
| 1/9 First of Nine on another wet and windy day (Little Hill West Top/Gwaunceste Hill/Little Hill East Top/Glascwm Hill/Back Hill/Yr Alt/Yr Alt East Top/Bryngwyn Hill/Newchurch Hill) | Fergalh | 20/12/2015 |
| Surprisingly nice circular walk, parked at top of pass east of Glascwm, walked down through the village and up onto Little Hill (West one), then followed moors onto Gwaunceste Hill and across to Colva Hill, followed lanes to near Colva Church then went out and back to Yr Allt, then carried onto Black Hill, Glascwm Hill and up and back onto Little Hill (East one) back to car, nice and sunny day, didn't see anyone all day. | DanTrig | 28/10/2015 |
| SO1428153731. From Hundred house drove up minor road and track which is driveable with care and parked at disused quarry, went up track to cross junction and turned right following track to top then went left heather bashing a short distance to top. | Anton | 12/03/2014 |
| deepish heather in full bloom, flattish summit, OK view. Hard work thru heather: didn't find good track until descent. from NE, BOAT driveable, parking once past gate e.g. at/near pass. Follow wide track which aims a bit L of summit, then heathery track goes most of way | RHW | 23/08/2009 |
