Chwarel y Fan, a 679m mountain in the Black Mountains range, is the first summit on the 19m route above. It marks the highest point of quite a slim ridgeway from the South that would be a good way of walking this mountain – and a route I might do on a different day in better weather.
The summit is marked by a good-sized, photogenic cairn and a good, well-walked, track in both directions is easy to walk and follow.
On a good day the views would be really impressive, making this mountain well worth a visit. It can be walked quite quickly from this car park if you wanted a quick up and down, but can also form part of shorter circular routes from this car park or the car park lower down.
On this route you walk back the way you came, heading North to Twyn Tal-y-cefn, along a much wider ridgeway on a gravel path.
