Pen yr Allt-Uchaf

Pen yr Allt-uchaf is the slender grassy finger that gazes down on Cwm Cywarch from the NE. It is a featureless top. The highest ground is at the NE tip of the ridge but there is no cairn, no rock, nothing except fresh untrampled grass. Yet the views compensate: Cwm Terwyn S, Cwm Hengwm N, with pride of place going to the gigantic splintered slopes of Gwaun y Llwyni and the distant line of the Rhinogs delicately framed in the jagged head of Cywarch.

Cwm Hengwm route (AN12)

Start on ssss1 but double back where the gradient eases near a fence and a signboard indicating the Arans' permitted paths. Advance across the spongy top of Waun Goch to claim the ridge from there.

Cwm Terwyn route (AN13)

A path crosses the fields from the road at 860175 to give access to a beautifully engineered path that slants across the cwm's S slopes. As the ground levels off near a corner of some woods, bear L to join the ridge close to its topmost point. Another track (ssss1) tackles the cwm on its N side.
