Abergeirw

Rhobell-y-big from the north Rhobell-y-big is a fine 500m rocky top. From this northern approach, it rises out of the ocean of rampant knee-deep heather with tussocks, hidden rocks and holes seen in the foreground, extremely laborious and slow to walk through. It looks lovely in bloom though.

Rhobell-y-big summit rocks The rocky pointed summit of Rhobell-y-big is among the finest in Wales, not all that high at 504m but, depending on the approach direction, reaching it is very arduous going and every metre is well earned. The hill in the background id Dduallt.

Rhobell-y-big south descent The top of the descent southwards from the rocky top of Rhobell-y-big. The descent is not as formidable as it looks, a short clamber down the rocks to the heathery lower slopes and thence onto the often wet typical grassy moorland. Rhobell Ganol is in the mid-ground and Rhobell Fawr beyond.
