Background
Visiting
The hill is designated as open country and therefore freely accessible to walkers. Various bridleways run to and over the hill whilst minor roads, 'green lanes' and restricted byways also provide access for horseriders and mountain bikers too. The Beacons Way ascends Cefn Moel from Bwlch before dropping into the cwm en route for the hamlet of Cwmdu in the Rhiangoll valley to the east.
