Twyn Tal-y-cefn is a 702m hill in the Black Mountains marked by a cairn, although this is not according to the map the highest point – which is slightly further North.

The approach to this hill is on a well-maintained gravel path and ascends gently to the highest point – making this a very easy ridgeway walk.

The flat top with decent cairn. | Tamron Adaptall SP 24-48 @ 24mm, f11.

The cairn and highest point are just off of the footpath on a fairly flat and featureless top. On the day I walked it there weren’t many views due to drizzle and fog.

An easy hill to tick off as it is directly on this circular route, probably has good views on a clear day. Might have to revisit at some point.
