The final mountain on this Black Mountain circular walk is much smaller than the two that you’ve just passed as you slowly descend towards Crug Mawr, the only hill on this route.
The walk is very gentle, with a good grassy path to follow that only occasionally descends into areas of bog which are generally easy to skirt around – even though I walked this in August it had been raining plenty in advance of the walk.
The summit is marked by a small pile of stones and the top has a healthy covering on purple/pink heather. This makes it a very photogenic spot, especially with the broad views in every direction.
The walk continues on good tracks, splitting the colourful heather, and taking you on to Crug Mawr. Views back as you carry on are great.
This was a mountain that I wasn’t expecting much from, but it was a real highlight in terms of photography and a great way to finish the mountains in this section of the range.
