The cwm below Craig Cerrig-gleisiad (see ssss1) is ideal for an afternoon stroll or a lazy day in the sun.

Escape the noise and hustle of the road to enjoy a haven of tranquillity and beauty with both the grandeur of crags that are unparalleled in S Wales, and the softer charms of the cwm itself – playful hillocks, the sheep, the stream, the colours of the heathers and bracken. While in the cwm try exploring the trail leading up to Fan Frynych (ssss1). This leads to more pretty exhibitions of woodland and fell – Fforest Fawr at her most accommodating.

Cwm-du (FF L2)

Good for a rain-shortened day; a short brisk walk along the bridleway, and a foray into the cwm, might be rewarded with late shafts of sunlight.

Cwm-du bears more than a passing resemblance to Cwm Cerrig-gleisiad; a steep craggy face on one side facing pleasantly wooded slopes on the other. However the head of Cwm-du is narrower, and it twists itself more deeply and intimately into the curves of the engirdling hills with no crags, this time, to bar the way.
