Did You Know?
- •The name is Welsh, deriving from 'cae' (field) and 'isaf' (lower), used to distinguish the area from the neighbouring higher ground of Caeliber Uchaf.
- •Because it is classified as a Marilyn, the hill possesses at least 150 metres of prominence, making it far more visually imposing on the local skyline than its modest 353-metre elevation suggests.
- •The summit offers a grandstand view of the Shropshire Hills across the border, specifically the whale-backed Long Mynd and the dark, craggy quartzite towers of the Stiperstones.
- •The suffix 'isaf' translates to 'lower' in Welsh; a designation that feels slightly insulting once you have spent the final ten minutes puffing your way up the steep pasture to the trig pillar.
