Pen Cerrig-calch, Mountain summit in Black Mountains, Powys, Wales, United Kingdom.
Pen Cerrig-calch rises to 701 meters above sea level, featuring a trig point and offering views over the River Usk valley and Brecon Beacons.
The Iron Age hillfort of Crug Hywel, located on the southeastern spur, indicates early settlements dating back approximately 2,000 years.
The Welsh name translates to 'top of the limestone rock', reflecting the geological composition that differs from the surrounding Old Red Sandstone landscape.
Multiple walking paths connect the Usk Valley to the eastern Grwyne Fechan valley, with the most common approach starting from the southeast via Crug Hywel.
The southwestern slope contains a cliff called Darren, formed by a major landslip during the early post-glacial period.
