From the road to the north. There is a faint path but it comes and goes and the ground is quite tussocky. A nice hill though.clivevilla20/07/2020

With: hb; We made a longer walk out of this one by parking at Nant y Arian. We followed the byway out of the forest, over Esgair Gorlan down to the minor road, then walked up this for 500m before taking the track up to the farm. Friendly people there and easy access to the field above and a diagonal path to the stile into open country. We followed an ATV track to the ridge round to the summit. We return to the road over Disgwylfa Fach then used the road to access the Nant y Arian forest and followed the LDP back to the car park.Ian Baines27/07/2019
