Parked by the derelict pub in New Radnor. Walked to Harley Dingle then over footbridge. Pleasant walk up by Firing Range boundary fence then good tracks all the way to the trig pillar. With Jill. | Dangerous Dave | 07/02/2024 |
Room for a car or two at the road end to the north 156 655. Followed the farm track until the obvious grass ride West of the summit. A bit tussocky after crossing the fence but easy enough. I thought the approach was better than the flattish summit plateau, though the elevated trig was impressive. 
I passed the farmer on my return and he didn't have any issue with where I'd parked. | Peterb | 10/08/2023 |
Parked in the car park by the school in New Radnor, as it was the school holidays. Knowle Hill, Whimble, Bache Hill, Black Mixen, Great Rhos, Nyth-grug, Mynd and The Smatcher. Warm but overcast with a breeze on top. With Gillian | richard69 | 07/08/2023 |

11.5 miles 2203ft walk ,start at New Radnor School carpark. Whimble, Bache Hill, Black Mixen and Great Rhos. | stephenbuda | 25/06/2023 |
Clockwise circuit up by Harley's Dingle and again risking all by following track to the top. Sarah's first Nuttall of the 2023 Challenge. | Rob Rees | 31/01/2023 |
Followed Nuttall walk 11.4 with R. Perfectly clear morning. | Dan Baddeley | 19/11/2022 |
Upper car park (400m start!) - Whimble - Bache Hill - Great Mixen - Great Rhos - returned past Black Mixen and down Ystol Bach Brook. | Mark Jackson | 27/10/2022 |
crossed from black mixen across the valley to add interest | chris.brockwell | 13/10/2022 |
Round of the valley, going tortoise paced by this point due to a seized up back. Descended on track beyond boudary fence to a right turn which joins bridal way at top of Davy Morgans Dingle (which is more interesting than the direct south descent). | Nick Canute | 02/09/2022 |
From New Radnor following bridleway then the danger area border fence until S of summit. Horrible initially in calm humid conditions and constantly pestered by flys for 2 hours. Better on the summit with a slight breeze. Great spot though. Solo | RoguePulsar | 15/08/2022 |
With Cheryl. | MGT67 | 17/04/2022 |
09:30, -1 in New Radnor (7 later) cloudless, windless. Haine's Mill route: Great Rhos, Black Mixen, Great Cregiau, Bache Hill, Whimble and Knowle Hill. Brecon Beacons floating above the haze, mostly easy terrain, nice woodland on descent. Superb! | Wycombe Wanderer | 17/01/2022 |
Parked in forestry car park, visit to the waterfall then up the forestry track to gate to open fell at SO 177 625. Followed decent path to range boundary fence and then followed that around. | sebastiencale | 09/11/2021 |
A very pleasant clockwise circuit of Great Rhos, Black Mixen and Bache Hill from New Radnor.Up Lane from Haine's Mill, round the three tops to finish down th Lane into the Centre of New Radnor. Good all th way except for a short stretch of dep heather from the gate at the end of the track before great Rhos. Path down through the woods near the end rather overgrown at this time of year but not a problem. | dickscroop | 23/09/2021 |
Through New Radnor churchyard, then followed the path round the contour line. Up the track on the West side of the valley. The western bit of the range is a pain in the proverbial. Once I did work my way to the trig point and could see a well worn route back directly through the range it all became much simpler on the way back. Return the same way. Not another person on the hill. | pclyndes | 12/09/2021 |
New Radnor > Jack's Green Farm > Whimble > Bache Hill > Black Vixen > Cross Dyke > Great Rhos > Harley Gorse > New Radnor. | Winterfloodian | 07/09/2021 |
From the waterfall up the better condition track straight up (east of wood). Lots of wild blueberries on the west track down. | Stevooo | 01/08/2021 |
Great day with Stevie n Tay and Yeltzbagger. Horseshoe including Black Mixen. | ketzster | 26/07/2021 |
Parked at the forestry carpark at the end of Mutton Dingle and climbed Whimble, Bache Hill, Great Creigiau, Black Mixen and Great Rhos, before coming back around the top of the valley over Black Mixen again. Gorgeous, clear blue skies but this mountain's very flat-topped so not the best for views. | SootAndShale | 25/04/2021 |
Solo en-route to Brecon Beacons. Parked at highest point and foolishly tried shortcuts both up and down. Could be interesting area for longer treks. | lordtonult | 30/08/2020 |
run from New Radnor including Bache Hill and Black Mixen. With Dr Tim. | dave_mole | 06/08/2020 |
7/8 A splendid round trip of the Great Rhos to bag 3 Deweys. From New Radnor up bridleway, with quick hop over the fence (SO 214 619) and up the field to Knowle Hill, back down and up FP through wood to barns, then direct up to the Whimble (splendid summit), back down and revisited Bache Hill and the transmitter at Black Mixen, visiting the deleted Nuttall, Great Creigau, en route. Then a significant descent to bag my second Dewey, Fron-wen (disappointing - just a rise in a forest road) and on to revisit Marilyn Great Rhos, before a long trek over wild moors to my final Dewey, Nyth-grug, and a lengthy road walk back to New Radnor. All in all a great walk with good views. 25km with 900m ascent in 7 hours. (S) | silveracorn_alan | 24/07/2020 |
Parked at Car Park for Water-break-its-neck waterfall. Visited Falls with K, then together for about a mile up through forest before going solo to summit. plenty of snow on heather made plateau hard going. View 100m. | IanHHill | 19/03/2020 |
From Graig, limited parking just beyond the 4x4 experience centre. Up the tracks into woods, which continue most of the way to 600m and a path through the heather to trig. 1/2 Marilyn, onto Beacon Hill afternoon. | N.Morters | 08/02/2020 |
Completed this, with difficulty due to the low cloud and very short visibility!! | EricMoore | 07/12/2019 |
Climbed up Davy Morgan's Dingle from Water-Breaks-Its-Neck. Followed old track from south, marked as access land on my map but large new signs warn of potential dismemberment, explosions etc. Ignore and Enjoy! | Rob Rees | 03/12/2019 |
From Graig, on a mixture of farm roads, forestry roads, bridleways and a path to the summit. In clag, so no views. | NormanW | 04/10/2019 |
From the north starting at public road end near Graig. Followed bridleway tracks up to 650m then slightly left onto path to summit. Perfect morning. | Topographer57 | 08/09/2019 |

Parked at New Radnor and walked 17.5km taking in Bache Hill, Black Mixen and Great Rhos. Sunny day with some cloud. With eldest son. | clyoung | 21/06/2019 |
From New Radnor passing to the west of the firing range. Just up and back as we had no time for the circuit including Black Mixen and Bache Hill. The trig is surrounded by heather but, coming from the south as we did, after passing over a gate at the end of the track close to the top, there is a track to the left. Follow this until it appears to be going away from the trig, carry on a few feet and there is a path of sorts straight to the top. | Newton Maximus | 24/05/2019 |
Easter Saturday in glorious, cloudless weather. Started from Llandegley, walked up the road to Vronlase and then up the track along the north of Foel. Apart from the friendly farmer at Vronlase, didn't see a soul. The top was quite dry and a major contrast to the my previous visit in zero visibility. From here visited the Bronze Age cairns to the WNW and NW, then on round to Black Mixen. | thesweetcheat | 20/04/2019 |
Parked in New Radnor, followed route clockwise around Danger Zone to take in Great Rhos, Black Mixen and Bache Hill. Blustery and clear. | andrew.morel | 15/04/2019 |
First Welsh Marilyn on 9m Circular Walk from New Radnor - Bache Hill, Black Mixen & Great Rhos | Jephcote83 | 13/04/2019 |
narrow foot track through rough heather from north to trig, broad plateau | richardrosser | 05/03/2019 |
Parked in New Radnor village and used ROWs and bridleway up the left side of the range. returned same route with elizyanne | GmacT | 18/07/2018 |
Lovely walk from the village, around the hill and then up the valley. Look down onto munitions area. Open ground at the top and fortunately found narrow track to the trig point. It rained for all of 20 seconds! | elizyanne | 18/07/2018 |
From Water... car park. Into trees, first right and straight on at first sharp bend left. Out of forest and up access road along east side of forest. Dry, smooth grass all the way. Hot and sunny. | iangalbraith | 15/07/2018 |
With K from Water-Break-Its-Neck carpark. Struggled to get into Davy Morgan's Dingle from the main Walton Plantation track. The danger area has been expanded as of 2017 making it hard to access summit (but possible trudging over trackless moor). Decided to return through top of Warren Plantation via Esgairnantau and Crynfynydd, however south end of these tracks are not as depicted on 1:25k map (they are correct on the non-OS map on here when you zoom in past the 1:50k on the normal view). Ended up confused in Cwm Du but put the pieces together and exited via Warren House. Didn't have fun! | Ashley | 12/07/2018 |
Part of a Bache Hill, Black Mixen, and Great Rhos circular. | RyParks | 25/03/2018 |
On own. From Dolau railway station via Llanfihangel Ruydithon. SE track past Cross Dyke to summit. Return via forest track S of The Riggles, then along cleared forest edge. A lot of tree clearance has taken place. Beautiful autumn day. No-one else out. | Beeliner | 30/10/2017 |
From New Radnor Village SO 21280 60809, via Whimble, Bache Hill, and Black Mixen, as Nuttalls 11.4 | Westdenewalker | 10/10/2017 |
Ascended from New Radnor via the bridleway which skirts the Rifle Range | DanMaisieBex | 01/09/2017 |
Parked up in the village and walked up Whimble first, then Bach Hill, Black Mixen and Great Rhos. Down into Harley Dingle then footpaths back to the village. Mainly following the Nuttall walk. | Neolith | 28/08/2017 |
Two and a half hour, six and a half mile county top walk from New Radnor I had no problems as it was a clear afternoon but would not want to be up there in poor viability. Second visit to this top whilst ticking of the 2000ft summit's, third of three tops following the nine mile Nuttall route from street parking in New Radnor, first visiting Bache hill and Black Mixen. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 21/08/2017 |
Knowle Hill - Whimble - Bache Hill - Great Creigiau - Black Mixen - Great Rhos. Basically the Nuttalls route with occasional diversions to take in the three bonus summits. Mainly cloudy and breezy but dry. Fairly dry surface with paths through the heather - judging by some other comments I was fairly lucky. | Herbert Anchovy | 29/07/2017 |
With Shaky & Smithy from New Radnor. Parked in the village & took the steep minor road NW up to the forest at the top, following the track & then a very overgrown path to E of Whimble rejoining the track. Followed the fence N & then climbed over the gate to follow the fencelines to the tumulus on Bache Hill. Returned to path & then slanted NW along the edge of Black Mixen detouring to take in the summit. A fine walk round head of the valley to Great Rhos on dryish ground & then followed track at edge of danger area all the way down to Harley Dingle & round side of the hill back to New Radnor. A couple showers but great views & a great walk out. | NotReallyABagger | 23/07/2017 |
Asked what I wanted for Father's Day and the answer was...the trig on Great Rhos. Failed this twice in 2015, and it didn't look good this time either with the heat, but a nice breeze higher up kept us going, and we finally bagged it. Like previous comments found the paths higher up were little more than sheep-trails through bog, my son went knee deep into mud at one point, and it was a real struggle to reach the trig even though the ground isn't that steep up there. Water-Break-It's-Neck was never more welcome at the end, the kids loved splashing in the cold water, and the Harp Inn at Old Radnor provided similar relief for the adults. Glad we did it, but probably wont be doing it again. | Stuzinho | 17/06/2017 |
We parked at the car park for Water-Break-Its-Neck waterfall and headed up through the forestry and back down via Davy Jones' dingle. This was not a great route. The forestry tracks have significantly changed and we struggled to find a way out of the forest. Eventually, at the highest point of the track, we followed a very wet firebreak to an old gate, SO177625, and escaped. The RoWs on the hill have all but disappeared and are very difficult to follow. We followed a faint track to what used to be a gate, SO178633, (doesn't open, but easier to climb than the barbed wire sections). There was no obvious path, so struggled through tussocks and hidden ditches (and luckily through a gap in the next fence) to the summit. We did find a track heading south away from the summit, but that came to an end somewhere on the side of the dingle and we improvised thereafter until we reached the fields and the forestry which did have predictable paths this time. With Keith and baby Ross. | islamidget | 13/06/2017 |
On circuit of Radnor Forest hills | Pilch | 19/04/2017 |
Walked up from Water-Break-Its-Neck. Bit of a bog fest at the top. Beautiful day with lovely views. | ronanhead | 05/04/2017 |
A fine circuit with 5 trigs, on a perfect sunny day. Beginning to be converted to TuMPing by Alex and co, and regaining proficiency in climbing barbed wire fences. From New Radnor, over the superb Whimble, Bache Hill, direct to Black Mixen (noooo - follow the track), edge of forest and peaty tracks to Great Rhos, then seduced away from the indistinct correct line to the forestry by Nuttall baggers track, but correct line regained off piste. Through forest, then up to Nyth Grug, Mynd, Black Brook track to A44, direttissima towards Molecatchers Wood, Castle Hill, and The Smatcher. | Gill | 26/03/2017 |
Really top notch Sunday outing for the Triggers Weekend on an extended circuit from New Radnor with Gill. | Twice Shy | 26/03/2017 |

Round of the three Radnor Forest Hewitts from New Radnor. Very windy. | jim pererin | 10/01/2015 |
Continuation of walk from Fron-wen. Took track from Fron-wen east to forest road, which I followed south up steeply to Shepherd's Well. After some tougher walking SW (due to tree-felling) by bridleway to forest edge, I reached a gate at SO 18237 64461. From there a boggy path over the moor brought me to the summit. Walk continued to Black Mixen. | Man of Kernow1 | 09/11/2014 |

Set off from New Radnor, climbed Bache Hill, then Black Mixen then Great Rhos. Good easy paths to follow, took 4 hours. | davecnash | 02/05/2009 |

Nutthall book is vague on descent. Just follow the chewed up track south through the fence, take a sharp left off this onto a faint track, pick up the main track and go right, pick up the bridlepath descent after 1 mile. | simon and co | 27/03/2009 |

misty and on my own, another place where you meet NO-ONE. | jonathanwilliam | 16/12/2008 |
a satisfying loop of the radnor hills, parking in new radnor and following forestry tracks up to the shoulder of bache hill past the shapely whimble. the descent of great rhos was via the valley with the shooting range. no shots fired today!! | stig_nest | 15/10/2008 |
Raining, misty, very hard to navigate | thejerv | 16/03/2008 |

Part of a walk taking in all three Nuttalls plus two Deweys (to be honest the two Deweys are the better hills!) | DavidGMould | 21/01/2007 |
Followed the Nuttalls route, no problems all access as described in the book. Hazy views. | rhalstead | 04/11/2006 |

Radnor Horseshoe - last hill on the circuit. Very impressive, superb views and the edge above Harley Dingle is just breathtaking. | Jake994 | 28/05/2006 |
Revisit date. First date not recorded. deep heather hilltop, TP on low tumulus/knoll, fine view. a/c/w 2:20 circuit from New Radnor | RHW | 05/03/2006 |

Plug missing. Moss beginning to take hold on some sides. Views from here not great as the top is rather flat. Be careful not to stray into the artillery range if descending into New Radnor from here. There is a gentle bridleway down into the valley and an equally pleasant path over a shoulder and into New Radnor. | Father Ted | 27/06/2004 |
Came up from S. Parked in New Radnor and went over Wimble (good hill), The Bache and Black Mixen. Good dry day with 4/5 others about. Very flat on top and easy to get lost in fog. Paths faint at points. | robphys | 30/05/2004 |
The straight line from Black Mixen to Great Rhos would pass through a steep valley and across Harley Dingle ammunition range, so it is necessary to head for the woods and follow the perimeter until a track leads across heather to the final summit of the day. Black Mixen and Bache Hill were still visible. As is often the case on flat summits, it is easy to miss a path on the way down, and this is what happened. I descended too steeply and too close to the Danger Area and ended up following the compass and a contour line until the path re-appeared. | peter4lc | 09/03/2004 |
Round of the Radnor Hills from south with DM. | Man of Kernow1 | 22/02/2004 |
Bit of a trudge through heather - then we found the faint path! | signyred | 23/11/2003 |
with young Jamie at only 4 and 3 months and seven others. Jamie's first Welsh 2000ft hills and I took a tigger suit in my rucksack and he was photographed jumping off the trig wearing it, and into my waiting arms by Alan Dawson. | vegibagger | 06/09/2003 |
On route down from Black Mixen using Nuttalls route. | martin & storm | 03/09/2003 |
tackled from the South started near Water Break-its-neck waterfall, gained summit via thick heather summit marked by trig | isabelle | 26/10/2002 |
Parked in New Radnor and headed over to cross Harley Dingle at the entrance to the testing range. Then steeply up the West side of the valley and on up to the top. | garyhoney | 16/02/2002 |
First ascended in 1982 in thick cloud, having walked from Dolau station. This ascent was on a horseshoe walk from New Radnor in good weather. | JohnW | 04/10/2001 |

Start ~ 213607, New Radnor. Took the track by Haines Mill and then climbed up on to the fell above the Three Riggles. Contined over pathless heather until we found the trigg point of Great Rhos. Then took track into woods and swung E to pass the head of Harley Dingle to emerge onto a path to Black Mixen. Continued to Great Creigiau and Bache Hill before following a track down through the woods to return to New Radnor. With Chris Wilkes. | steve hudson | 10/01/1996 |
A sunny friday in November -solitude for a nice solo logical walking / running round of the 4x 2000ers of the Radnor Forest and then time to also do Drygan Fawr and Pen y Garn then to Bryn Hafod hut in Berwyns for a reunion meet of the CB11 India expedition, earlier that summer. | Chris Pearson | 05/11/1993 |
New Radnor- Harley Dingle- Great Rhos- Black Mixen- Bache Hill- Whimble- New Radnor. A fine route, good underfoot all the way- easy to find paths and tracks. Yet this feels off the main ways, moors on the edge of a great vista over green farmland on a cool, very clear day. Long anticipated 2000 ft summits hugely enjoyed, though Whimble, below that height,was probably the best top. With Pete. | pwheeler | 02/05/1993 |

Three or four ascents since. | thenomad | 23/09/1984 |
Thick clag, round of the two 2000'ers and Bache Hill from New Radnor. Maps then did not show the forest correctly so had navigation problems finding the trig - bearing taken from forest edge which was in a different place to the map. Maps updated around 1985. | fasgadh | 01/06/1982 |
Can't remember which way round I did these two - or why I missed the other two! | Peterdunscar | 01/04/1980 |
Pleasant walk amid forests. | arranc | 28/08/1967 |
Date (incl year) v approx. Probably 2 ascents, but at least one, which probably included the whole horseshoe starting from near New Radnor | dbb | 01/09/1965 |
From New Radnor we walked along the road to the path to Water Breaks it's Neck - a waterfall hidden in the woods. 
We then followed the path out of the woods and up the tufty grass slopes to the summit brig point. | ChinnockC | blank |
