Did You Know?
- •The name is derived from the Welsh 'Banc', meaning a slope or hillside, and 'Cwm-coed-ifor', which translates to the valley of Ifor's wood.
- •The summit offers a clear vantage point over the transitional landscape between the Teifi Valley and the higher, more rugged plateau of Mynydd Mallaen to the northeast.
- •While its elevation is a modest 1,011 feet, its prominence of over 100 metres qualifies it as a Hump, making it a significant high point within its immediate local area.
- •At just 11 feet over the 1,000-foot mark, it serves as a perfectly sized objective for those who want the satisfaction of a four-figure altitude without the long-distance trek required by the higher Cambrian peaks.
