Bwlch y Ddwyallt, Summit in Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales.
The sandstone summit reaches 754 meters in elevation, forming the highest point of the Gwaun Cerrig Llwydion plateau in eastern Brecon Beacons.
The cliffs beneath Bwlch y Ddwyallt contain geological evidence of glacial activity during previous ice ages, shaping the current landscape formation.
The Welsh name Bwlch traditionally refers to a mountain pass rather than a peak, reflecting the local language patterns in geographical naming.
Multiple footpaths connect the summit to neighboring peaks, with the Beacons Way running along the southern edge of the plateau.
The plateau structure displays distinctive sandstone formations from the Devonian period, directly overlying the Brownstones Formation beneath.
