| From Treledydd Fawr, good field paths via Treleidr continuing straight onto access land. Here, following the line of the permitted path shown going round to the E slope gave a prickle-free way through the gorse to an easy rock shelf leading to the splendid rock summit. Carpets of spring squill, thrift, dotted with orchids and Wall butterflies made this an idyllic place (by this route only!). Return via coast path and Carn Trellwyd made a good 6.5 mile walk. | pwheeler | 12/05/2022 |
| 4/4 On Pembrokeshire Coast Path a day of small detours to include Carn Porth-Llong, Carn Llidi, Carn Perfedd and Penberry. | nickywood1 | 31/10/2021 |
| Parking just off the gate at SM 77399 29077. Crossed field and took paths to the ruin of the quarry building. A path sets of with great promise from the gate at SM 76949 29123 but all too soon splits, re-joins and crosses, so I picked the best with an upward trajectory. Bit prickly as others have said but not bad and a good view at the top. | DC11main | 31/07/2021 |
| Harder scramble than it looks (at least the side I went up!). | Neil Midgley | 27/05/2021 |
| 10.4 mile circular from Whitesands car park, followed B4583 and then country lanes east to Treleidr farm then headed north towards Penberry, eventually finding the permissive path marked on the map up to the summit, from here followed coast path spotting several seals on the beaches below, then followed footpath onto Carn Perfedd, the summit can be a bit painful to get to because of the gorse but not too bad, then followed seldom-used paths back to the cliffs then back on the coast path to Carn Porth-Llong then around St David's Head towards Carn Llidi, good paths to old WW2 radar station then up to summit which requires a bit of a scramble to stand on top, followed path back to Whitesands. A few people around despite the very cloudy/sometimes showery conditions. Earlier that day bagged Garn Fawr. | DanTrig | 07/09/2020 |

| up from farm past old weigh bridge and mine working. paths through gorse leads to summit with bases of masts like those on other local hills. Suspect WW2 related | cjo | 19/08/2019 |
| walk along coastal path to rock outcrop with obvious HP on sunny day. some low gorse on approach | Denise | 29/07/2019 |
| Took my bike on to the Coastal path below the hill, then ran up and down. | Shutterlag | 15/07/2019 |
| M&C from Celtic Camping. Approach from road to SE, past farm and bungalow then skirted round E side to vague overgrown track up on N side | MandChills | 08/08/2018 |
| Ran up from holiday cottage past farm, looped round N of hill. Track just before the stile/gate to get to top. No views as in low cloud. | stever | 07/08/2018 |
| Whilst walking a section of the coastal path I made a slight detour to bag this one. | Chipstertrain | 09/09/2017 |
| Similar route to arranc but turned off the main path too soon on the way up and ended up in gorse. As I was with the children I had to carry them over a couple of bits which meant passing through the worst bits three times. Route back better as we headed down to the coast path and thus bypassed the gorse. Nice hill. | Herbert Anchovy | 30/05/2017 |
| Prickly walk up from minor road to the SE to join the upper coastal path with detour to Penberry. Then continuation on to Carn Perfedd via more prickly paths and off-piste to take in 3 likely summits although middle one seem highest after you look back from the road. Then used minor roads back to car. | Dugswell2 | 24/07/2016 |
| Roadside parking near entrance to Penberry Farm. Don't do the direct route in shorts; narrow paths with gorse encroaching - painful! Small brick pillar-type structure at summit, evidence of WWII activity? Cloud down, drizzling, no views. | jonglew | 23/07/2016 |
| Parked, with permission at Treleidr Farm, N on WDP between hedges to coastal view. Turn right, over a second stile. 100 yards beyond join a VWDP leading to top. Avoids the gorse and most of the rocks. Very nice hill. | arranc | 19/10/2015 |

| Minor detour from Pembrokeshire coastal path | Ramblingpaul | 21/06/2015 |
| From Tretio, while in holiday cottage. Took RoW NW, croossed lane and took track past Tremynydd Fawr to Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Followed this west,then permissive path up eastern flank of hill. Then I followed sheep tracks up to summit - lots of bracken, gorse and brambles - don't do in shorts, as I did! To descend, picked up track south to lane, then by lanes back to Tretio. | Man of Kernow1 | 27/07/2014 |
| As RHW. Lots of gorse all over the hill. Best bet seemed to be paths to 7676 2913 then bits and pieces through the gorse. | destaylor | 30/12/2013 |
| fine rocky hill; lovely view. e.g. from road to SE: to avoid gorse follow FP round to N side then to summit | RHW | 21/06/2003 |
