Foel Feddau

You get proper views from up here - the sort that make the climb worthwhile even on a drizzly Welsh afternoon. Foel Feddau rises 1,595 feet above Pembrokeshire and delivers the kind of 360-degree panorama that stays with you. On clear days you can see the Preseli Hills rolling away to the east, the coast curving north towards Cardigan Bay. The walk itself takes about ninety minutes from Newport, and it's a steady push rather than anything technical - muddy in places, exposed at the top, but never treacherous.

This isn't a climb for the idle. Walkers and proper hill people will love it; families with small children will find it a slog. The peak itself is bare and windswept, which is exactly why the views punch so hard. There's nothing manufactured up here, no café or visitor centre - just you, the landscape, and usually the wind.

Head out in the morning if you can, when the light's right and the cloud hasn't rolled in from the coast. Summer's obviously more forgiving, but winter ascents bring their own reward if you're equipped for it. Free to walk, naturally. Llwyngwair Manor Holiday Park sits just four miles away, making Foel Feddau a cracking option if you're basing yourself in the area for a week - pair it with the coastal parks around Newport and you've got a proper Pembrokeshire walking holiday.
