Gorllwyn

Gorllwyn is a subsidiary summit on a remote moorland plateau in the Cambrian Mountains. The plateau is covered in grass and dotted with peat bogs. A shelter cairn and a trig point mark the summit of Gorllwyn. To the west lies Drygarn Fawr, distinguished by its large cairns. Between Gorllwyn and Drygarn Fawr is the pass of Bwlch y Ddau Faen. The plateau extends eastward towards Y Gamriw, with Radnor Forest beyond. The isolation and open landscape make Gorllwyn worth the journey. The lack of crowds contrasts with the dramatic features of Drygarn Fawr. The large cairns on Drygarn Fawr stand out against the flat moorland. The pass of Bwlch y Ddau Faen adds a rugged charm to the route. The plateau’s quiet stretches offer space for reflection and walking. Visitors find a grassy summit with a shelter cairn and trig point. The peat bogs add texture to the plateau’s surface. Views extend to Drygarn Fawr’s cairns in the west. The pass to the east provides a natural break in the landscape. The surrounding moorland feels vast and untouched.
