5/5 - once out of forest, left track and headed S - slightly better path and (at last) less boggy. Soon into deforested land on approach to final summit - a track leads almost to the summit. Then elected to reverse route back to start rather than risk even boggier ground by straying off the ridge. Stayed dry all day but cold wind kept blowing | wychwood | 31/03/2024 |

Tir Rhiwiog > Cefn Brith Uchaf > Mynydd Maes - glas (Mynydd Clywedog) from GR: SH 89161 16718 | Hippster | 28/01/2024 |
From the lay by west of Dol-y-maen, walked up to said farm and used forest roads to the summit of Tir Rhiwiog and then continued on to Mynydd maes-glas returning by going cross country East to pick up the forest road used on the way in. Three hours for the Nine and half miles. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 12/08/2023 |
From Tir Rhewiog on track to gate at 919.162 - then ATV track up to and through felled woodland at Boncyn, then onto the top. | Moorponder | 24/06/2023 |
Parked in the lay by on the A458. Walked along the road to Dol-y-Maen. Followed forest road to just short of Tir Rhiwiog, took right fork and easily got to edge of the forest then up by fence to Drum Ddu with its splendid cairn (best summit of the walk). Retraced route back to track junction and to summit tree of Tir Rhiwiog. Then down forest road to just past the gate, left along sheep trod until under summit of Cefn Brith Uchaf, then direct up to the top. Back to the forest road and down to the first bend, then down and crossed the stream, picking up a small trod contouring round and going much of the way to Foel Lluestbadion, from where easy ascent of the top could be made. Headed down, crossing to the road above the deepening valley. Right down the road to forest edge. Then up ATV track, picking up another one going through cut plantation nearly to the top of Mynydd Maes-Glas (Mynydd Clywedog). Now east, skirting round the top of the bog, then up the energy sapping heather | silveracorn_alan | 13/04/2023 |
Space for a car where Nant yr Onnog passes under road. Circuit of 6 Tumps. 3/6. Visited both tops. | PGCE | 04/02/2022 |
From Cefn brith Uchaf decended cwm bychan path on map not present steep and dense trash should have gone straight east to forest track then up road to car | underhill | 31/07/2021 |
1/4 (Mynydd Maes-Glas(Mynydd Clywedog/Tir Rhiwiog/Cefn Brith Uchaf/Ffrid Ddu) | Fergalh | 21/01/2018 |
Parked on tiniest bit of verge on minor road near Nant-yr-onog. Up track then north to Y Gribin. Good route. Long route NE then SE on mainly pathless rough moor to Foel Lluestbadion & Drum Ddu then SW to pick up track to Tir Rhiwiog. Cefn Brith Uchaf then more rough moor to Mynydd Maes-glas before returning north to West bound track back to start. Tough walking when not on tracks. | ijpowell | 12/05/2017 |
Tir Rhiwiog, Drum Ddu, Foel Lluestbadlon, Cefn Brith Uchaf and Mynydd Maes-Glas from layby at 936139. Frisky cows with young calves on the first part of the track up and mostly pathless after Tir Rhiwiog but a glorious sunny day. | clivevilla | 10/05/2017 |
Parked in layby at 936139 - After ascent of Tir Rhiwiog continued W. & then S.W. to edge of forest at 919161 - Up path/ATV track through heather to ridge & then continued south, partly on ATV track, to within ¼km of unmarked summit - From summit, S. to vehicle track & shortly after crossing stream headed E. to micro dam & reservoir at 915139 - Down ancient farm track to Maes-glas cottages & road walk back to car. (S) | gerrybowes | 11/02/2017 |
Parked in yard of Maes Glas holiday cottage. Clearly unoccupied and no one around to ask. Left a note and wet up track. Beyond track end contoured around to a dam then cross country to higher track. 
up direct to rough grassy summit decent views though low cloud hiding the high tops. Hadnt spotted that one of the cows was a daddy cow until I was within 6ft of him but seemed placid enough. | stig_nest | 21/06/2016 |
Parked in layby up from Dol-y-maen farm and walked down road to take track all the way to the summit of Tir Rhiwiog. From there track down through forest then over tough terrain to a rather lonely gate into the felled forestry area. Fairly straightforward hopping past small pond to summit of Mynydd Maes-glas after passing track. Then headed straight east to regain the track - detour to head of boggy area then clamber through heather and tussocks for easy descent on track. | SS | 16/04/2016 |
Mynydd Maes-glas and Tir Rhiwiog from A458 layby, in fresh snow. | rhalstead | 21/11/2015 |
From 3418. Then descended along the westerly of the 2 tracks - lovely walking. Then a slog along the road to the layby. | destaylor | 05/03/2015 |
Parked in the layby on A458. Took track up from main road at approx 943136 making a circular trip of Tir Rhiwiog, Drum Ddu, Foel Lluestbadlon, Cefn Brith Uchaf and Mynydd Maes-glas. Only attempted because the poor conditions prevented me from heading up Aran Fawddwy. | JohnStoneham | 11/11/2013 |
Dull top in drizzly weather. However finding the track to Maes-glas house in descent adds interest. Lot clearer on the map than it is on the ground. | Martin R | 02/01/2013 |
With MP and AJ. Climbed on round after Tir Rhiwiog, descending back to A458 by scenic Glyn Clywedog. | Man of Kernow1 | 12/05/2012 |
Start ~ 935138, Layby. Walked down road then followed stream up to Hen Bwll. Faint traces of an old trackway are apparent. Took a direct line up the steep grassy slope to summit. With Wombourne and Ron. | steve hudson | 15/02/2012 |
