Background
Visiting
A public bridleway continuing as a public footpath runs from Cwm Prysor southwest across the northern and western flanks of the hill towards Trawsfynydd. Other than parts of its northern slopes the entire hill is mapped as open country under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 and therefore freely available for public access on foot. Along its southern and eastern margin is a minor public road beside the Afon Gain.
