Bryn Brawd

The walk up Bryn Brawd is straightforward enough, rising from the moorland around Tregaron with steady gradient rather than steep scramble. On a clear day you're rewarded with proper views across the Cambrian Mountains - rolling ridges that seem to go on forever, with the Teifi Valley dropping away to the south. It's the kind of summit where you can actually see why someone bothered to climb it in the first place.

This is walker territory, no question. The peak itself sits at a manageable height and the approaches are well-trodden, making it decent for moderately fit families who don't need rock climbing skills. Allow two to three hours for the round trip depending on your pace and how long you linger at the top. Weather matters here - in cloud it's just moorland with views of nothing much, so pick your day.

There's no visitor centre or facilities on the mountain itself, so bring water and something to eat. Free to access, naturally. If you're based at Cambrian Mountains Glamping and Camping nearby, it's a solid half-day outing that won't feel like a massive commitment. Worth combining with a walk in one of the valleys below - the landscape here rewards proper exploring rather than a single visit.
