Parked at field access gate SN 34323 16255. Hill summit is on SE side field boundary, as per OS 25k map. Typical roughish hill pasture. No livestock in the fields today.jonglew30/08/2014
Thanks to Rob, easy walk through ponies from gate to N.arranc28/07/2014
Jump a gate, desperate struggle through brambles, over fence and up field to metal post in hedgerow, dogs barking in distance. Better to seek forgiveness than ask permission.Martin R26/07/2011
The horses were still there! I parked at the war memorial at the SW corner and tried to use the RoW from south end. Not much sign of it so a bit of a struggle up through the wooded area.chriswatson08/11/2010
parked junction to SW. Walked back up road towards Llangynog to a track then old gate. Top seems on the far side of the triple barbed wire thick hedge.destaylor28/10/2010
