Did You Know?

  • The name originates from the Welsh language: Foel translates as a bare or rounded hill, while Trawsnant means 'cross-stream', likely referring to one of the watercourses that traverses the nearby slopes.
  • It is classified as both a Hump (a hill with a prominence of at least 100 metres) and a Tump (a hill with a 30-metre prominence), marking it as a distinct local high point despite its modest elevation.
  • As both a Hump and a Tump, the hill seems determined to collect as many technical classifications as possible before it runs out of altitude.
