Parked at the end of the road just south of Upper Cae-glas, where I was surprised to find a car park. Tylcau Hill, Newhouse Hill, Warren Hill and Gors Lydan. A very pleasant circuit. | PGCE | 10/11/2020 |
5/5 Dewey walk across these straightforward but pleasant hills using the many good tracks; from the road summit at SO 152 795(very limited roadside parking. Visited Stanky Hill, Pool Hill, Rhos-crug (Sub Dewey),Beacon Hill, Warren Hill and Gors Lydan. Took in Tylcau Hill on return. 25km with 700m ascent in 6 hours. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 01/08/2020 |
Gors Lydan, Warren Hill and Tylcau Hill from The Pound. | rhalstead | 22/03/2020 |
Beware of the angry farmer at Little Moelfre farm. He claims the between the byway coming off the hill and the public road is private. | Rob Rees | 15/11/2019 |
From SO116760 on the track N of Moelfre | Jim.Fothergill | 23/08/2019 |
Clockwise circuit of Gors Lydan, Ty'n-y-ddol Hill, Warren Hill and Tylcau Hill from Wakefield Green Farm. A lovely sunny day. Broached the access issue at Little Moelfre with a couple of locals and got the impression that this is known problem with county council and may possibly relate to a planning cock-up and/or appropriation by landowner. Either way, other walkers have apparently been refused use of the driveway. | milimana | 03/07/2019 |
Last Dewey of five starting from the Lay by outside Llangunllo station, route also took in Pool hill, Beacon hill, Stanky hill and Warren hill, 19.5 miles in just under seven hours. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 07/07/2018 |
A steady walk views for miles. | granddadscott | 03/06/2018 |
First top of a clockwise circuit of 4 Deweys N. of the B4356. Parked on large area of hardstanding just E. of Wakefield Green Farm at136745 Up road to cattle grid & a No RoW sign by entrance to Little Moelfre Nipped over gate into access land & followed byway (now a cul-de-sac!) to summit tumulus. Continued to Warren Hill. (S) | gerrybowes | 25/07/2017 |
Parked S of tel box at Moelfre City and walked up BOAT to get to summit; to return to road, followed track on N side of Moelfre Hill above attractive cwm. One of several enjoyable rough pasture hills in area, in which Beacon Hill is the highest. Fine views, today from Cader Idris to the Carmarthen Fan. Open access, but there are evident problems with locked gates and no ROW sign that didn't discourage us from using the lane up to Little Moelfre, which leads to the BOAT. There have clearly been problems with petrolheads and trailbikers and their antisocial behaviour needs to be prevented but it appears that walkers are being discouraged, while it seems impossible for equestrians, to gain access from Moelfre City | pwheeler | 29/04/2017 |
Another fine top in this wonderful area. | Alex C | 25/03/2017 |
A perfect sunny day in excellent company (Steve and Alex). Parked at Ty'n-y-Rhos, bridleway to Rhydhir, then direct to Pool Hill (friendly farmer). Beacon Hill, Stanky Hill, Cefn Pawl, then down to Llanrhys. Short road bash then Warren Hill and Gors Lydan. Short heather bash to track and road, then via Newhouse Farm to Tylcau Hill. 21 km, 840 m and wonderfully easy going makes an easily do-able round | Gill | 25/03/2017 |

Clockwise circuit from near Wakefield Green Farm taking in Gors Lydan, Warren Hill, Stanky Hill, Beacon Hill and then Pool Hill with a road walk back. Met a farmer bagging crows with a rifle on Beacon Hill - very friendly. | SS | 16/08/2014 |
As DARRENG - a fine ascent route. | Chris Peart | 09/07/2014 |
Over Moelfre and then followed track almost to summit. Unremarkable spot, especially on a wet and misty day. | chriswatson | 16/11/2012 |
Parked at Moelfre City. Nice green bridal path steadily uphill to heather covered top. Over rough heather to two tumuli - the southern was higher. | arranc | 25/07/2012 |
As DarrenG - fine track. | destaylor | 04/05/2012 |
a heathery rollercoaster circuit over 17k taking in 3 humps and a marilyn. some very good tracks but some very arduous heathery bits too. parked at entrance to llanrhys farm where there's a large grassy patch. | stig_nest | 08/10/2011 |
No gorse, despite the name. Silly over-zealous warning signs by a small drop. | Martin R | 26/08/2011 |
climbed from Warren hill | JohnStoneham | 07/08/2011 |
On the 1:25000 map there is a track at 117 761. A good path right the way to the summit. | DARRENG | 27/06/2011 |
3rd Dewey and 4th HuMP of a grey cloudy short day just as the rain and hail arrives. Top is bilberry knoll with some stones in it...? tumulus ? | Dugswell2 | 17/05/2011 |
Indifferent little hill, but quite a nice walk doing 3476 on the way.

From road to the south. Exactly 1 mile each way. The path is the other side of the tumulus to what is shown on the OS map. | clivevilla | 04/12/2009 |
