With KeithByTheC. Parked in Fforest Fawr Car Park. Walked along minor road to pick path from the East going up Craig Yr Allt. Headed East off ridge then down woodland path to Garth to pick up the crossing points of the A470, then the railway and the river. Headed past the pub up Garth Hill, then just before steep hairpin bend took a track to the right. Followed this until it met a path of up to the left which then led past fields and up onto the open land then obvious path up the ridge to the summit. To descend took the path heading SSE until it hit the road. Down the road a little way then path off to the left leading to the Nature Reserve. Through the Nature Reserve to the minor road. Then along to the junction of the A470 picking up the Tarff trail . Path straight up to the Castle, then back on the red route through the forest to the car park. 10 miles, 4hrs walking time per Strava. Very pleasant walk. | JulieB | 23/03/2022 |

Parked just along north-south minor road to east of hill. We were a bit worried about the parking after reading other comments but found a safe place along the road towards the pub not far from the footpath up/access lane to hill. Ascended lane then after a bit of confusion with paths not wanting to go to the summit we found the right way up. Descended the same way. A few people about. The views weren't great as it was very grey and murky so we couldn't see very far. 4th of 5 Marilyns today. Earlier we bagged Mynydd Y Glyn, Cefn Eglwysilan and Garth Hill and afterwards we bagged Wentwood. 120m ascent. | DanTrig | 05/09/2021 |

Parked at 14188523. Took the wrong path up so had to wade through 100m steep uphill bracken. A Bridleway runs past the high point so followed that down. | NormanW | 07/10/2019 |

From Taff’s Well railway station north on the Taff Trail, then east up the western slopes on paths overgrown with bracken (a detour when I thought I could find a better route ended in spectacular failure, a retracing off steps and persevering through the bracken); on reaching the western high point, east along the ridge path to the summit. | Mariana Trench | 04/08/2019 |
