Craig Llysfaen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Craig Llysfaen (Lisvane Graig in English) is, at 265 m above sea level, a prominent hill overlooking Cardiff.

To get there: Head to Lisvane, then follow Graig Road (Towards the Ty Mawr pub). From there carry on heading North and follow Graig Road, bear left when the road forks, up the big steep hill! As the gradient levels off, you will come to a gate and a gravel path heading East follow this until you come to a radio relay station (an old Royal Observation Corp post). Just past this is a trianglation pillar, you are now at the top.

The views (on a good day), Newport City, the two Severn bridges to the east, Pen Y Fan and the Brecon Beacons to the North and Cardiff City to the south. The views can be spectacular, especially at night.
