Cwmtwrch-Uchaf sits on the edge of the deep Twrch Valley. It is a fine spot where the hills of Powys meet the old mines of the south. My top tip is to walk the paths by the rushing river. You can see the dark stone peaks of the Black Mountains from the village streets. The air is very fresh here. It is a quiet place with deep roots in coal and stone. To find the best views, hike up the steep trails above the valley floor. This is a great choice for a low cost trip to the wild parts of Wales. Life is slow and the locals are kind. You will find a true sense of the hills in this small spot.
