Bryn yr Orsedd

Rising to 405 metres in the Brecon Beacons, this modest summit is classified as both a Hump and a Tump. It offers a quieter alternative to the National Park's busier peaks, rewarding walkers with a peaceful atmosphere and a distinct sense of isolation amidst the region's characteristic rolling green uplands.

• •The Welsh name translates as 'Hill of the Throne' or 'Hill of the Assembly.' Historically, a gorsedd referred to a high place used for ceremonial gatherings or a burial mound, suggesting the summit may have held ancient local significance as a landmark or meeting point.
• •To be classified as a Hump, a hill must have a prominence of at least 100 metres on all sides. This ensures that despite its relatively low elevation, the summit stands as a distinct and independent feature of the landscape rather than a shoulder of a higher neighbour.
