This is a nice walk, with good paths and easy parking. Views are great from the off – before you even park the car you have views in every direction worthy of a photo – and the terrain is soft grass and well established tracks.

There is only a relatively short amount of ascent to do to get to Blaen Onneu, so it is well worth it. As the route is gentle it is also a good hill to do with the kids.
