| Directions: |
From the crossroads in the middle of Rhiw
village, turn towards Sarn and then follow the road around to the
left at the next junction. Then take the next tarmac road on the
right. At the top, go straight on through the gateway and park on
the left. |

Mynydd Rhiw: mun-uth rhiw (roll the r) |
Mynydd Rhiw stands at just 305m, but as with most hills on the
peninsula, it feels higher due to it's proximity to the sea. This
particular hill is characterised by it's radio mast.
The way to get to this hill that I've described above means you start
a long way up the hill already so there is not a lot more height to be
gained, however, the track isn't very even.
So from where you have parked, the most direct route follows the track
that services the main mast near the summit. You will see the trig
point on a rocky outcrop to the left of you.
There are paths that cover all of the top of the hill and lead down to
country lanes on all sides, any of which can form start points for
your walk. There are no trees around the summit so it is hard to get
lost up here.
Take care as there can be hidden rocks under the heather.
