Black Hill stands at 2,100 feet (640 m) in the Black Mountain region of Bannau Brycheiniog national park. It's the summit of the awesome Cat's Back ridge to the south …

Tip by

The Cat's Back is the long narrow and very runnable ridge south of Black Hill. It's on the eastern edge of the Black Mountain range so gets brilliant views east into England. Exposed so can feel hard in high winds.
