From Pont y HenddwrJDMCGARRIGLE19/01/2024
From large parking area just before bungalow outside Cynwyd: Bryn-llus; Pen Creigiau'r Barcut; Moel Fferna; Cerrig Coediog; Pen y lladron; Moel yr Henfaes. Sweltering day, for which we were ill prepared without sufficient water or suncream. Visited Liberty Hall but omitted the last 2 peaks we planned. Welcome meal at the Blue Lion at the end of the walk.Lazylizzie13/05/2023
Parked in the layby on the B4401 at Cynwyd. Through the village, over the river and took the path to 055403, along the minor road then the track all the way up to just before the memorial stone at 091367, then over then fence and up to the summit. Followed the footpath along the fence all the way to Moel Fferna bagging the Simm of Cefn Perfedd and the Dewey of Cerrig Coedig on the way. Back down Moel Ferna to pick up the North Berwyn Way back to Cynwyg.12.67 miles. Fine walk.JulieB02/10/2022

En route from Moel Fferna to Pen bwlch y Llandrillo, not as bad as it looks, after 20 meters there is a good sheep path to summitFlatfield02/05/2022

A minor detour through heather from main path.Nick Canute06/03/2022
Indifferent day for weather. From forest above Cynwyd over Moel Fferna, Cefn Perfedd and Moel yr Henfaes. Contrary to map initial track towards Moel Fferna continues past forest edge to top of ridge, cut off it at an appropriate place. ridge path not up to much and descent track shown on map from near Moel yr Henfaes is in poor state, useful as a navigatiobn aid only.dickscroop14/12/2021

A clockwise horseshoe around the valley of Afon Trystion visiting Bryn-llus, Pen Creigaur Barcut, Moel Fferna, Cerrig Coediog, Cefn Perfedd, Moel yr Henfaes [Pen Bwlch Llandrillo Top], Y Drum and Moel yr Henfaes. 22.6km with 1000m ascent in 6h20m.

Parked next to the shop in Cynwyd (no restrictions on sundays) and followed the Nuttall route East with a spur up to Liberty Hall to take in Bryn llus, from here I pressed on to Moel Fferna, along the ridge taking in Cerrig Coediog and Cefn Perfedd before arriving at the Nuttall top of Moel yr Henfaes, from here I followed the hills over Y Drum and the Dewey Moel yr Henfaes. If your lucky when striking out for the last top you'll walk over a grassy track heading North East which will take you back to Cynwyd forest albeit having to cross a grazing field at 07959 39525 to access the forest tracks that you follow left back to the car. Fourteen and half mile in Six and quarter hours.WAYNE ROWLETT09/05/2021

Not much of a path. Very wet and boggy then heather. With B and R.jenx19/12/2020
The 8 summits around Cynwyd Forest anti-clockwise with Rufus. Parked at far end of reservoir and took forest track to open hillside, used a mixture of fences and rough tracks for navigation but plenty of the round is in deep heather. A good logical round for the northern Berwyn and took just over 4 hours at a fast pace - 16km 700m ascent.jacobrichmond01/09/2020

From a wild camp on Cadair Bronwen on a hot morning. Very tough going through the bogs. A short detour from the path to the highest point through knee deep heather. Wonderful rough and lonely country this.Jake99405/05/2018
From Cerrig Coediog, last hill on a half circuit from Cynwyd. Heather about 20m before small flat cairn. Rough track just beyond used to return to the forest road and a relief to get out of the bitter wind.Aye Jimmy24/02/2018

Bryn Llus, Pen Creigiau'r Barcut, Cerrig Coediog, Pen y Lladron, Moel yr Henfaes (Nuttall) Y Drm, moel yr Henfaes (Dewey). Good paths and tracks most of the way.ijpowell31/07/2014
After Bryn-llus I went through Ceiriog forest on a forest track that lead me out onto the moorland heading South. I should have climbed over a fence onto another track that takes you within only a few metres of the summit but stayed on the track because it was faster and seemed to profile around the hill. It passed over the mountain stream called Nant Y Lladron and ended in a large field. I saw the error and could see the hill so I climbed over a fence and dropped down into the small gorge that the Nant y Llandrillo had cut and up the other side on a bearing to the hill.. I joined the track that I should have been on previously within 5 minutes. The track took me round to the Eastern Side. I left my Rucksack on the track and climbed the slope to the summit ridge. Lovely views from there.Dazingdale04/05/2014
From Cynwyd, a round of Bryn-llus, Pen Creigiau'r Barcut, Moel Ffarna, Cerrig Coediog, Pen y Lladron, Moel yr Henfaes [Pen Bwlch Llandrillo Top], Y Drum and Moel yr Henfaes. A nice horseshoe for this area.rhalstead07/04/2014
