ysgyryd fawr has belonged to the national trust since 1939. the summit offers views of the sugar loaf to the west, and blorenge to the south, and the ridge is easily accessed on foot from the car park beside the b4521 ross road shown on the ordnance survey maps. the ascent is steep initially through woods, but gradual thereafter as open ground is reached, and a fine walk along the spine of the mountain to the highest point at the north end of the mountain at the trig point and chapel; allow two hours for the completion and return in good weather. a rough path follows the perimeter of the hill at a much lower level, and can be used as a circular route.
