Background
Visiting
A single public footpath crosses the southern flanks of the hill but the larger part of the hill is mapped as open country under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 and therefore freely available to walkers. A further public footpath runs from the hamlet of Gyrn Goch to the edge of the open country on its northern flanks.
