Bryn Coch and Cilfaesty Hill from Cider House. | rhalstead | 22/03/2020 |
Fine conditions for a top rate bike-hike along the Kerry Ridgeway. Actually quite a good deal less cold up at 500 metres than it was down in the Severn valley starting out at Newtown. | Alex C | 30/11/2019 |

Bryn Coch and Cilfaesty Hill from the Cider House car park via Two Tumps which thankfully isn't even one! | tim747 | 30/01/2018 |
A circuit of Bryn Coch and Cilfaesty Hill from the car park by the spectacular Ring landslip. Ambled over various barely discernible candidate summits on Bryn Coch before a downpour hurried me on Cilfaesty Hill and back to the car. | Nick Down1 | 04/06/2017 |
From Cider House car park via Two Tumps. The grassy track goes just E of the summit (not as shown on OS maps). 2 mins off it to summit with farmers rubbish dump. The path is probably popular, the summit hardly ever visited. Long clear views today, sunshine/high cloud. With Pete. As we both had cars, we took advantage and descended via Ddol chapel to Bwlch y Llyn tel box- a very fine short walk. | pwheeler | 02/05/2017 |

From Cider house car park. Misnomer - no refrescos - just a car park. Grass and pasture. | destaylor | 16/08/2011 |
Cider House gives an easy stroll up. Macabre remains of completely burnt sheep - with its plastic ear number tag intact. Struck by lightning? Methane explosion? | Martin R | 07/08/2011 |
a gentle climb from the top of Bryn Coch | JohnStoneham | 07/08/2011 |
