Geifas

Tucked away in the wild Pumlumon range, this rounded Tump offers a quieter perspective on the Mid-Wales moorlands. The terrain is classic Cambrian—tussocky grass and peat hags that demand careful footwork. It is a lonely, atmospheric spot providing a sense of isolation often missing from the more popular peaks nearby.

• •The name is rooted in the Welsh word for goat, 'gafr' (plural 'geifr'), suggesting these high, lonely slopes were historically the domain of feral mountain goats or seasonal grazing flocks.
• •Standing at 572 metres, the summit offers an excellent vantage point over the blue expanse of the Nant-y-moch Reservoir and the dramatic, scarred eastern face of Pumlumon Fawr.
• •While technically a summit in its own right, Geifas is frequently visited as an unintentional detour by walkers who lose their bearings in the thick mists that regularly roll off the Irish Sea.
