About Y Glog SW Top

Tucked away in the undulating heart of the Pumlumon massif, this subsidiary shoulder offers a quiet vantage point over the upper Rheidol valley. The terrain is quintessential Mid-Wales moorland—rough grass and peat—requiring solid navigation. It provides a stark, lonely perspective of the higher Pumlumon Fawr rising to the north.
