From the Wikipedia article

Fan Frynych is the northernmost peak of the Fforest Fawr massif in the Brecon Beacons National Park, South Wales. It is classed as a subsidiary summit of Fan Fawr and makes up half of the Craig Cerrig-gleisiad and Fan Frynych National Nature Reserve with its sister peak Craig Cerrig-gleisiad. The summit is marked by a trig point, where the northern face of Craig Cerrig-gleisiad can be viewed.

Background

Visiting

Being 'mountain' and/or 'moor', the entire mountain is mapped as open country and hence freely available to walkers under the access provisions of the CROW Act 2000. A network of paths and tracks cross its summit plateau and link with public rights of way to east, west and north. The 99 mile Beacons Way passes over Craig Cerrig-gleisiad immediately to its south, affording views over Fan Frynych's southern slopes and connecting with a path running the length of the east side of the plateau.
