Walk around Cribarth

This page was written by Christopher Spry.

This walk goes up to the summit and around the imposing Cribarth limestone crag above Craig-y-Nos Castle on the southern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. It has fine views to the North and later to the South.

This map shows the route which I followed in April 2004.
