Cribarth

The Cribarth hill rises to 428 meters in elevation and features a broken ridge extending toward the west within the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Bronze Age burial cairns at multiple high points on Cribarth demonstrate early human settlement and ceremonial activities in this Welsh mountain region.

The limestone formations and geological structures of Cribarth serve as an educational site where students practice their mapping and rock identification skills.

Visitors can access the summit through multiple paths, with a primary route starting near Craig-y-Nos Castle and connecting to communities in the Swansea Valley.

Nineteenth-century quarrying activities left visible remains of tramroads and lime kilns across the hillside, marking the industrial heritage of this natural landmark.
