Bryn Arw

Bryn Arw is a hill summit in the Black Mountains that features two distinct peaks connected by a curved ridge. The hill rises to approximately 384 meters above sea level with this ridge running in a north-south direction across the landscape.

The hill formed during the Devonian period from mudstones and sandstones of the Senni Beds Formation. This ancient rock layer created the geological foundation that still shapes the summit today.

The hill keeps its Welsh name, which shows how this area remains tied to Welsh culture and language. Walking around, visitors notice the surrounding landscape dotted with other Welsh place names that reflect the region's roots.

Several public footpaths connect the area around the base to nearby roads, offering different walking routes. You can choose between various paths depending on how much time and effort you want to spend exploring.

Two large stones sit half-buried at the summit, serving as natural landmarks for hikers on the hill. These rocks are easy to spot and help visitors pinpoint the highest point.
