Pumlumon Fach

Pumlumon Fach is a mountain summit in the Cambrian Mountains of Wales, reaching 664 meters and positioned northwest of Pen Pumlumon Fawr. Multiple trails cross the terrain, offering visitors different route options suited to various experience levels.

The mountain area served as a strategic location for Owain Glyndŵr during his early 15th century resistance against English rule. This period left marks on the region's past and its influence can still be traced in local accounts today.

The mountain forms part of the Plynlimon massif and carries a traditional stone cairn marking its summit, which remains significant in Welsh mountaineering culture. Visitors can observe how local communities have shaped and recognized this landscape through generations.

The area is accessible through various hiking routes, including the Pumlumon loop covering about 14 kilometers and taking around four hours. Visitors should bring weather-resistant gear and check conditions beforehand, as the elevation means changeable weather can occur rapidly.

The summit offers views of two different reservoirs, including Nant-y-moch Reservoir to the north and Llyn Llygad Rheidol to the east. It ranks as the seventh highest elevation across the entire county of Ceredigion.
