Dist:0.7km west<br/>This is a great climb up from Pen-y-maes farmhouse - or scramble down! The view is back down the Vale of Ewyas towards Loxidge Tump [[SO2829]] and Hatterall Hill [[SO3025]]. You can then walk along the ridge to Lord Hereford's Knob [[SO2235]]otherwise known as the Twmpa with fantastic views of the Wye Valley.

Dist:1.0km south<br/>Capel-y-ffin means "chapel of the boundary" in this case between Breconshire and Monmouthshire. St Mary's Church built in 1762 is a chapel of ease to Llanigon. The lop sided belfry has two bells, one medieval.
