    Nant Irfon Valley
    A view of the Nant Irfon Valley
    Steep and lonely valley giving access to Drygan Fawr. The road enters above Llanwrtyd Wells, before climbing up the Devils Staircase and across the mountains to Tregaron, or south past Lyne Brianne reservoir to Rhandirmyn. SN845855
    Drygan Fawr
    This is one of the highest points in the area, standing at 645 metres above sea level. The summit is topped by two distinctive cairns and offers spectacular views of the remote, surrounding valleys. This is a beautiful, almost untouched, part of Wales and we recommend that you come prepared with suitable clothing, a map and a compass. SN862584
