Llethr Llwyd

The walk up Llethr Llwyd isn't complicated, but it rewards you properly. This Ceredigion peak rises above the quiet moorlands that roll inland from the Welsh coast, and from the top you're gazing across the Cambrian Mountains with a real sense of being somewhere untamed. The ascent from Tregaron takes you through rough grassland and bracken - it's not technical, just relentless in places. Allow a good couple of hours for the round trip if you're steady on your legs.

The views justify the effort. On a clear day you can trace the contours of the range as it sweeps north and south, and the moorland beneath you shifts colour with the seasons - green in summer, rust and gold come autumn. It's the kind of walk that appeals to hill walkers who want exercise without scrambling, and to anyone keen to escape the tourist honeypots of coastal Ceredigion.

If you're staying at Cambrian Mountains Glamping and Camping just down the road, this makes a cracking morning or afternoon excursion. The site sits six miles away, close enough to feel like local knowledge but far enough that you're not surrounded by caravans. The peak itself is free to climb - there's no infrastructure, no café, no visitor centre. Just you, the wind, and the mountains doing what mountains do. Bring a map and waterproofs; weather changes fast up here.
