You can park on the road towards Pontlottyn, on the edge of the closed lane that takes you to Cefn y Brithdir by foot. There is also parking if you turn left and head down towards the small pond.
The walk is easy if you follow the road, or you can take a shorter route on the way up like I did that takes you up a couple of steep parts but reduces the time you spend ascending.
You get good views of Pen Garnbugail to the West and you can see the Brecon Beacons horseshoe and Cefn yr Ystrad looking North. The hill is pretty clean overall, with minimal fly-tipping (which seems an odd thing to celebrate, but some valleys hills are covered in fly-tipping) and is a pleasant walk to tick off another Caerphilly hill.
The summit is not marked in any way, so I just walked using my GPS and OS map to stand at the spot indicated.
At least it is open and grassy so there is no need to fight through thick heather or other plantlife. I walked back via the road for a little bit of variety.
