Twmbarlwm Mountain

Off Cwmcarn Forest Drive

About

A short drive east of Cardiff, Twmbarlwm is a pretty little mountain that makes an ideal viewpoint over the surrounding countryside and has the added attraction of a Norman motte. There are several marked walks in the area, the longest being a fairly strenuous seven-mile walk from the village of Pant yr Eos. The less energetic will be glad to know that it is possible to take a car almost to the top of the mountain where you can sit and enjoy the views. The romantically-inclined come here in the evening to watch the sun go down. Ask at the Cardiff Welcome Centre for details of walks in the area.
