About Craig y Llyn
Craig y Llyn is the high point of the escarpment at the head of the South Wales valleys, above the Rhigos mountain road. Its north face drops in crags to Llyn Fawr, and conifer plantations cover much of the plateau behind. It is the highest point of the old county of Glamorgan and of modern Neath Port Talbot. The nearest higher hill is Fan Nedd, 15.3 km north in Fforest Fawr.
The short way up starts from parking on the Rhigos road near Llyn Fawr and follows tracks along the edge to the summit. The top is flat and covered in trees in places, so the trig point is easy to miss in mist.
The escarpment edge looks north across the Neath valley to the Brecon Beacons.
