At 827 meters high this definitely requires a bit more of a walk. But it's well worth it as there are at least five cairns up on top of these Berwyn mountains, not to mention inspirational views in all directions. It is also a good place to come down upon Rhos Y Beddau stone circle. Kerbing is still visible, cairn is about a meter high, ignore modern walkers cairn. Come early to avoid the crowds.
