762515/05/2015SO 19761 50604  F: No feature. Within an area of gorse bushes,bracken and grass.
O: I checked this before and after visiting trig point. Ground 5m W of trig (SO 20241 50574) measured 433m alt by GPS as well. My GPS is insufficiently accurate to say which is the highest.

Bryngwyn and Newchurch Hills from the col that separates them. Good grassy tracks up both. Gorgeous spring afternoon.Campbell Singer03/04/2023
From Bryngwyn Hill, the green track from SO188503 is wide and smooth enough to drive up. Visited trig as well.milimana24/09/2021

From Newchurch to E. Steady climb with easy access. Great views of the Black Mountains and the Brecons. With whole family and the Barkers. 165m ascentRoguePulsar26/09/2020
Good and far view at the top and very windy not steep apart from one short bit near the middle of the walk went with whole family and the Barkers.speedyclimber26/09/2020
A good walk through the quiet hills above Glascwm (saw no other walker all day) from the summit of the road at SO 165534 visiting Little Hill (east one), Gwaunceste Hill, Llanfihangel Hill, Yr Allt (west one), Newchurch Hill, Bryngwyn Hill, Red Hill and Glascwm hill. Mostly fast progress on good tracks through the heather moors, but beware the totally overgrown and nettle infested bridleway down from Yr Allt to the road before Newchurch Hill. 31km with 1100m ascent in 8 hours.
