Cyrniau

Cyrniau sits at 863 metres, the sort of height that makes you genuinely work for the view but doesn't require ropes and harnesses. The climb from Llanfyllin takes a good couple of hours at a steady pace, winding up through sheep pasture and rough moorland until suddenly you're at the trig point looking across Mid Wales. On a clear day - and they're not guaranteed - you can see the Cambrian Mountains properly, stretching away in every direction.

Walkers will get the most from this one. The summit itself is fairly bare, just grass and stone, so it's not a destination where you'll linger for hours. Most people allow three to four hours return including a proper break at the top. Families with confident young walkers can manage it, though the terrain is uneven underfoot and the weather up there changes quickly.

It works well as part of a wider walking holiday rather than a standalone trip. The route starts accessible from Llanfyllin itself, making it straightforward to reach without a long drive. If you're based at Cae Nant Glamping six miles away, you could easily build it into a day's walking itinerary. The climb isn't technical, just relentless - that gently steepening gradient that leaves you properly ready for lunch at the top.

Bring a map and compass even if you think you know where you're going. Phone signal can be dodgy up there, and the moorland plateau looks deceptively featureless in mist. Worth the effort if you want proper views without the Snowdonia crowds.
