Cefn Trybedd-Gwilym

The walk up Cefn Trybedd-Gwilym is a proper job, but the views across Mid Wales make it worth your legs burning. This peak sits above Llanwrtyd Wells, a quirky little market town that's become something of a haven for walkers and outdoor types. From the summit, you get proper panoramic stuff - rolling moorland stretching out in every direction, with the Brecon Beacons visible on a clear day. The climb itself takes a couple of hours depending on your fitness and which route you pick. There are several approaches, but most people tackle it as a straightforward hill walk rather than a technical scramble. Walkers will absolutely get the most from this one. Families with older kids can manage it fine, though younger ones might struggle with the sustained incline and rough ground. The exposed moorland means weather can turn quickly, so pick a clear day if you can. Once you're up there though, you're genuinely in the wilderness. It's the kind of place where you see maybe three other people all day. If you're basing yourself at Welsh Glamping or Riverside Caravan & Camping Park - both excellent spots near Llanwrtyd Wells - this makes an ideal half-day expedition. The town itself is worth a poke around afterwards: independent shops, decent cafes, and a surprising amount of character for somewhere so small. Free to walk obviously, and no facilities on the hill itself, so bring water and something to eat.
