Craig Cerrig-gleisiad

Craig Cerrig-gleisiad reaches an elevation of 629 meters, featuring steep north-facing cliffs and an L-shaped glacial cwm facing northeast.

The mountain's current form developed through glacial processes during the last ice age, with a significant portion of the west wall collapsing afterward.

The name translates from Welsh as 'rocky blue hill', reflecting the natural characteristics of this prominent geological formation in South Wales.

Multiple hiking trails access the summit, with parking facilities available and the requirement to keep dogs leashed due to grazing livestock.

The cliffs provide nesting sites for peregrine falcons and support rare Arctic-alpine plants, uncommonly found this far south in Britain.
