Graig Fawr is a majestic mountain located in the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales, UK. Its rugged terrain is characterized by rolling hills, steep cliffs, and scenic valleys, offering breathtaking vistas of the surrounding countryside. The mountain's summit, which reaches an elevation of 609 meters, is a popular spot for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts, providing panoramic views of the Brecon Beacons and the Welsh landscape.
Great views from the summit, westwards towards the Snowdonia mountains in the far distance, closer at hand overlooking Rhyl and Prestatyn. It's a relatively easy ascent from the small free car park, which also has information panels about the area. Or, a longer and more strenuous walk from Prestatyn along the former railway line, then back along the limestone ridge following the Offa's Dyke Path.
We love it up here. Can walk from the bottom by Y shed or can park in the car park so it isn't as much of a walk to the top. Great views to the coast and to Snowdonia.
Melidan Mountain is such a gem on the landscape. Growing up under its watchful eye, I think its majestic in its own way. A short distance from Dyserth Waterfall makes it a worthwhile afternoon's ramble. Both accessible by car too.
Really lovely views over the coast, free parking and nice walk. Good for dogs. Not far to the top around 15 mins walk , there are longer walking routes as well I think
This is one of those hills that rewards you with excellent views, without taking much out of you to get there. It's only about 15 minutes walk from the car park, and not too steep; and you'll still get to see the sea, the mountains, the hills, and the whole area for tens of miles in all directions. A brilliant little hour out, or addition to a trip through the area!
Fantastic views from the top, plenty of walks to seek out, shame the monument at the top is full of graffiti
