I have been visiting this place for years, it's a fantastic place for views all year round. You can enjoy refreshments at the cafe which provides lovely fast food and drinks at reasonable prices.

Used to live in Caerphilly and often took the boys for a walk and a walk through the woods especially when the bluebells were out.Great Views and can be busy with cars but I truly miss coming here. Café selling tea and fast foodWell worth a visit as easy to reach from Cardiff and then perhaps go down the hill to visit Caerphilly Castle.

A short stroll affords a great view of the coast near Cardiff and hills inland. Go, park and feast your eyes.

A wonderful area to visit,plenty of nice walks and the views are outstanding.The mountain top cafe is a fantastic place to take a break,thoroughly recommended.

you visit and see lots of people sitting in their cars eating burgers and unhealthy food. Would be an ideal location for healthy eco tourism but it is like going back to 1980 when it might have been ok to eat rubbish. An opportunity missed.

You first have to reach the summit of Caerphilly Mountain - as a kid I used to bike it quite oftenfrom Cardiff where I lived with my parents. These days I make a point of driving there with familyfor a wide range of snacks in fantastic country surroundings atop a mountain.The venue's been substantially re-built over the years and is now a substantial permanentbuilding, complete with toilets at the back and a pleasant, rural outdoor seating area at thefront.The food is basic but top-notch, and very reasonably priced.

Took our daughter and her children to visit the eatery we used many years ago, it has certainly changed but for the better. Everyone had a good time.

A fresh walk on a Sunday morning followed by a breakfast roll and coffee at the snack bar... Great! Only downside is dogs off leads. As I have a young child it can make me wary.

Another lovely place to visit when you are in Wales! A good dayout when the sun is out! They got a fireworks display on Bonfire Night. But mind the parking as totally packed during this event! Better yet to come early as possible!

I pedalled UP it on the back side of it,having wandered off the Taff trail in error, ended up on the main road. if you do this, use the strip of grass inside the crash barrier, its harder to do on wet grass but safer. GREAT WORK OUT and the view is worth it. I descended with ease down the steeper side to Caerphilly, gravity sorts that one out but make sure YOU HAVE GOOD BRAKES OR WALK DOWN.

Fantastic scenery, caerphilly mountain snack bar is lush, this place will only keep you occupied for an hour but for what it is its worth the views. Wouldnt advise going up here in the rain mind

My mobility is regrettably very limited these days due to a work injury so I cant make the most of the walks around the mountain, but that doesn't prevent me from taking a drive up to the car park having a bit of a totter to find somewhere to sit & just soak up the fresh air, the incredible views & watch the wildlife for a while. Its impossible to be stressed when you are here.

Fab walks and scenery and a lovely hut at the top for a well earned rest but only a few chairs outside if you want to sit. Just great for walking the dogs or stretching the legs.

I love coming up here and spending time walking, seeing the stunning views and having a snack at the cafe....if you can call it a snack with their amazing portions!If you like good old fashioned exploring, fresh air and stunning views I highly recommend it.
