Peraidd Fynydd East Top

Located within the desolate, rolling moorlands of the Pumlumon range, this minor summit offers a quiet alternative to the busier Pumlumon Fawr. The terrain is typical of mid-Wales: a mix of tussocky grass and peat bog, providing a raw, solitary experience overlooking the remote, wild headwaters of the River Wye.

• •The name 'Peraidd Fynydd' translates from Welsh as 'Sweet Mountain,' an epithet likely referring to the quality of the summer grazing or the scent of the moorland heather.
• •This eastern top sits just over half a kilometre from its slightly higher parent peak, Peraidd Fynydd, separated by a shallow, marshy saddle typical of the high Cambrian plateau.
• •The summit offers a clear perspective of the sprawling Nant-y-moch Reservoir to the west and the massive, undulating ridges of Pumlumon Fawr rising directly to the north.
• •Despite the linguistic promise of a 'Sweet Mountain,' a navigator is far more likely to encounter the sharp scent of damp peat and the local sheep population than anything traditionally fragrant.
