michmax visited on 1st Apr 2017 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 We came from the Dutch garden centre end of Graig Llwyn road and parked the car in sharp bend by a field gate. We walked a short distance down the lane and there was an overgrown stile leading onto the hillfort on the right. The ramparts are visible and there are fantastic views over Cardiff, but there are stables right by the fort, and it looks like they are partially built on the site.
