4th hill of the day on a 23 mile 'Circuit of Painscastle'. Good weather & views. Parking at the col. | DanMaisieBex | 02/05/2021 |
From Newchurch Hill to ENE. There is a path to the summit of sorts although not marked on the OS map. Great views to S and W. With whole family except Carla (and some Barkers). About 110m ascent | RoguePulsar | 26/09/2020 |
Big hill and quite steep in some places but not too bad very windy at the top went with whole family and the Barkers. | speedyclimber | 26/09/2020 |
Lovely walk on a hot, hot Septembers day...circular walk from car park near the Ireland intake over Red Hill, Bryngwyn and then Llanbedr NE top. | Toobuddy | 16/09/2020 |
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.
