Things to know
- The route can be very muddy, even in hot weather so please wear appropriate footwear.
- Some of the footpaths are very overgrown with plenty of brambles and nettles! If you don't want to cut through, there are longer routes around - just consult the map.
- There are a lot of footpaths running through the area, please keep an eye on the map to avoid going too far off route.
- On the way down from the mountain is the Caerphilly Mountain Snack Bar which really does make the most phenomenal burgers!
