Route #24

Pumlumon walks - click here for a brief guide

Pumlumon Fawr is the highest point of the Plynlimon mountains. This walk is a scenic and little-known route up Pumlumon Fawr from Nant-y-Moch reservoir. Easy going underfoot on tracks and short grass. Most of the ascent is gradual, but there are two short, fairly steep climbs. From the top you will have a wonderful view of nearly all the Welsh mountains.
