Good for kids
A wonderfully peaceful afternoon climb to the top of Garth Hill. Cross a stream/River first, climb up some steps in the shade of the canopies of the slope leading to the tavern. Then you follow the asphalt road peppered with the moving glades and pass by a couple of houses. The top is flat and gives a nice 360 degree view. Cardiff city of also visible if the skies are clear.

Highly worth a visit. Just 20 minute walk up path from Pentyrch end of Mountain Road takes you to the summit with it's fantastic 360 degree views. Even the Brecon beacons and Somerset are visible. Truly beautiful place with interesting flora and fauna. Topped by 4 ancient burial mounds for the history buffs. Hard to believe it just minutes from a major city.
A steep climb in parts but can be walked mostly by road so not too difficult or long a walk. And on a clear day you are rewarded with an amazing 360 vista from the top - to the East, the foothills of the valleys; looking South, laid out below you is Cardiff and the Severn estuary flowing in front of England's Devon hills rolling on down towards Cornwall; as you continue to pan West, Swansea Bay in the distance. And to cap it all, to the North you have a clear line of sight to the majesty of Pen-y-Fan and the Brecon Beacons...a photographer's paradise!
On sunny day, the views from here are amazing!
Beautiful walk with wonderful views of South Wales and so close to Cardiff. A great pub in Gwaelod also for some recovery medicine.
