For centuries, Pen-y-Fan has stood as a sentinel of Welsh history, its summit marked by a cairn of stones, a testament to the countless footsteps that have echoed across its slopes. Legend has it that this sacred mountain was once home to Gwyn ap Nudd, the Welsh king of the Otherworld, who would descend from the heavens on a spectral boat to collect the souls of the departed. Today, Pen-y-Fan remains a place of awe and reverence, where the beauty of nature intertwines with the rich tapestry of Welsh folklore.
