Route : From the
A5, cross Pont Cyfyng. Ignore the public footpath on the right. Take the next
turning on the right, a tarmac road which climbs steeply through trees. This
road actually goes all the way to the north-east ridge of Moel Siabod but a
diversion has been created at the first bend to avoid a farmyard. Having
rejoined the road, above the farmyard, turn left and go through a gate.Further
on a second gate is reached. As you approach the mountain, the ground levels
out and immediately before reaching a third gate leave the road and cross rough
ground on the right to reach a conspicuous stile over the fence below the
mountain ridge. Follow this long ridge to the summit. The level summit ridge
turns out to be long and rocky. The rocks can be awkward in places and some may
prefer to take an easier route - though it is much less fun - along a narrow
path through short grass a little below the rocky ridge on the north side of
the mountain. The actual summit is at the far end of the ridge and is marked by
a triangulation point. There is a stone shelter nearby.
Remember : Always take a map and
compass with you.
