Very easy approach from nearby car park, had to wait in the car park for 30 minutes because of the driving rain but when finished the cloud even parted to give us a slight view of the local area. Afterwards drove to and bagged Penberry, Carn Perfedd, Carn Porth-Llong and Carn Llidi in a circular in improving weather. | DanTrig | 07/09/2020 |

Very wet and windy! | Poolton123 | 11/08/2018 |
From the car park to the east. A short walk up on a good path to a nice rocky top. It seemed apparent to me that the rock west of the trig at 89586 38876 was obviously higher than the one to the east. I am nit-picking but.... | clivevilla | 16/07/2018 |

From Garn Fechan car park direct to summit- needed a short scramble. Down to Pwll Deri for closer coastal views then return on S. side. This took an hour for a hill that could have been bagged in 20 mins, but every minute here was well spent- rocky ground and fine views. The best summit of the day, on my way from Newport (Pembrokeshire) to the Gower | pwheeler | 29/04/2016 |

Walk up (along with neighbouring Garn Fechan) at the start of Wales Coast Path section from here to Goodwick. The bus driver obligingly dropped us at the carpark. Excellent hillfort, even overgrown the stone ramparts are impressive. Far reaching views to the Preselis and Carn Llidi. | thesweetcheat | 09/08/2014 |

This was our second Trigg point of the day, after taking Afan Valley Road through Cymmer all the way to The point where Neath Port Talbot, Bridgend and Rhondda Cynnon Taff Counties meet (just above Treorchy)As you face the Icecream / Burger van head right to the Bridal path keep to the path and head towards the wind turbines you will come to a gate which you need to go through and you will see the trigg point just to your right before you reach the wind turbines, it was in pretty good shape apart from a bit of yellow paint sprayed over it. | Bryangwyn | 02/09/2013 |
