Moel Bentyrch

Rising to 338 metres, this Welsh hill is classified as a Hump and a Tump. Located in the Brecon Beacons near Ashbourne, its 1109ft summit provides a modest, approachable climb. It is a quiet alternative for walkers looking to bag local peaks away from the region's more crowded trails.

• •The name Moel Bentyrch is Welsh, where 'Moel' refers to a bare or rounded hill and 'Bentyrch' is likely a mutation of 'Pen' (head) and 'Tyrch' (boars), translating to the 'Hill of the Boar's Head'.
• •The summit is crowned by the remains of Caer Bentyrch, an Iron Age hillfort; defensive stone and earth ramparts are still clearly visible, particularly along the steep northern edge where the terrain provided a natural advantage.
