Heol Senni
Take-off and Landing There is plenty of room for taking off at either end of the quarry but the slope at the south end is of a gentler gradient and therefore easier to manage in strong conditions.

Before you goThis is a fairly sensitive site. Share vehicles wherever possible. Do not disturb livestock. Peregrine falcons are known to nest in the quarry and must be given space during the spring breeding season.

From M4 J45, drive all the way up the Swansea valley on the A4067 passing the Dan Yr Ogof Showcaves and up over the mountain pass. As you pass the Cray Reservoir on your left , you will see a right-turning signposted to Heol Senni. Turn here and continue for just over 2km and turn right up a stony track just after the cattle grid. Park in a space clear of the track and walk up the hill. Hanglider pilots are recommended to drive as far along the track as possible as the carry-up is easier from the south end of the hill.
In strong conditions, beware the dry stone wall and barbed wire fence behind take-off. A few gilders have been damaged here over the years. The bottom landing area below the hill slopes away deceptively. Low flying military aircraft frequent the area during the week – Use the freephone service!
