Bryn Ffynnon

Rising above the rolling moorland of the Welsh hills, this 440-metre peak offers a quieter alternative to the country's high summits. Characterised by rough heather and grass, the ascent provides a remote feel, leading to a summit classified as a Hump and a Tump with expansive views across the surrounding moorland.

• •The name is Welsh, with 'Bryn' meaning hill and 'Ffynnon' meaning a well or spring, suggesting the hill was once known for a specific water source vital for upland livestock.
• •From the summit, walkers can earn a clear view across the undulating plateau of Mynydd Hiraethog, with the distant, jagged silhouettes of the Carneddau range often visible to the west.
• •To be classified as a Hump, a hill must have a prominence of at least 100 metres; Bryn Ffynnon achieves this, marking it out as a significant independent height in the local landscape.
• •This is a hill for the antisocial walker; its lack of a Wikipedia entry and its position away from major tourist paths ensure a quiet day even in the height of summer.
