Very easy approach from nearby car park, had to wait in the car park for 30 minutes because of the driving rain but when finished the cloud even parted to give us a slight view of the local area. Afterwards drove to and bagged Penberry, Carn Perfedd, Carn Porth-Llong and Carn Llidi in a circular in improving weather.DanTrig07/09/2020

From the car park to the east. A short walk up on a good path to a nice rocky top. It seemed apparent to me that the rock west of the trig at 89586 38876 was obviously higher than the one to the east. I am nit-picking but....clivevilla16/07/2018

From Garn Fechan car park direct to summit- needed a short scramble. Down to Pwll Deri for closer coastal views then return on S. side. This took an hour for a hill that could have been bagged in 20 mins, but every minute here was well spent- rocky ground and fine views. The best summit of the day, on my way from Newport (Pembrokeshire) to the Gowerpwheeler29/04/2016

Walk up (along with neighbouring Garn Fechan) at the start of Wales Coast Path section from here to Goodwick. The bus driver obligingly dropped us at the carpark. Excellent hillfort, even overgrown the stone ramparts are impressive. Far reaching views to the Preselis and Carn Llidi.thesweetcheat09/08/2014

This was our second Trigg point of the day, after taking Afan Valley Road through Cymmer all the way to The point where Neath Port Talbot, Bridgend and Rhondda Cynnon Taff Counties meet (just above Treorchy)As you face the Icecream / Burger van head right to the Bridal path keep to the path and head towards the wind turbines you will come to a gate which you need to go through and you will see the trigg point just to your right before you reach the wind turbines, it was in pretty good shape apart from a bit of yellow paint sprayed over it.Bryangwyn02/09/2013

Did this super little hill on way to Strumble Head from good car park to east. Sunny 14 C under high pressure so very spring like.Dugswell218/03/2009
Climbed several times whilst staying at the nearby Treathro House. There's some nice little scrambles if you look for them (bit gorse-y though).wheresthepath20/09/2008
Revisit. Trig with bilingual GPS plaques; spider with VL 1940 neatly inscribed with punchmarks. Remains of small building also has its builders names written in concrete. Great little rocky summit, over looking a fine piece of Pembs coast. Wide green track from car park to E, leads to summit.RHW17/11/2007

Climbed on an overnight expedition to Pembrokeshire. Took the coast path round from Strumble Head. Best walk of the trip.Man of Kernow104/06/2005
Parked just to the east of the top. From the car park it was an easy stroll to the trig. Fine views could be had in very sunny weather. Dropped down to the youth hostel and joined the coast path. This was followed to Strumble Head Penrhyngaryhoney28/03/2004
