Foel Cwmcerwyn

Foel Cwmcerwyn is a mountain summit in the Preseli range and the highest point in Pembrokeshire. The peak rises approximately 536 meters above sea level and dominates the local landscape with its distinct elevation.

The summit contains a Bronze Age burial cairn that shows human presence on this site since ancient times. This monument represents early human settlement and ritual practices on the Welsh landscape.

The peak is known among hikers as a Marilyn, a classification that marks its standing among British mountains based on specific criteria. Local walkers recognize it as an important landmark in the Preseli range.

Hiking to the summit is possible throughout the year, with established paths starting from the village of Rosebush. The weather can change quickly at this elevation, so bring appropriate gear for your visit.

The mountain contains a disused quarry on its western slopes that once provided stone for the region. The abandoned excavation shows how this landscape was shaped by past extraction practices.
