Parking very close to the cache, easy hide, BYOPand tweezers needed.
The highest mountain in Swansea, and the highest land between the River Loughor and the Upper Clydach River. A small road between Ammanford and Clydach passes very close to the summit, on which are located the historic ruins of Penlle'r Castell.
Penlle'r Castell, 1213 feet above sea level, is an historic ruin on the summit of Mynydd y Betws in the far north of the City and County of Swansea. The site was probably a late 13th-century stronghold garrisoned by one of the Marcher lords, it perhaps had two square towers, but these were probably made of dry stone walls, as there is no sign of mortaring. the flat platform forming the Castle base was defended by deep ditches.
The name means "Summit of the place of the Castle"
