Geology

The summit of the hill is formed from Ordovician sandstone whilst Gwna Group schists outcrop on its southern slopes. To their south are New Harbour Group schists and psammites. Surrounding lower land is mantled by glacial till though the hill itself is free from such superficial deposits.[1]

Access

The summit area of the hill is owned by the National Trust and thereby open to free public access on foot. A couple of public footpaths run across its western slopes but access to the summit is gained from a minor road to its west by a short permissive path.[2]

gollark: It specifically doesn't have a partition *named* `system`, which I believe is required.
gollark: Honestly, I have no idea, and I don't have good enough access to actually check.
gollark: I suspect it's doing something incomprehensible and eldritch, or at least not standard-compliant.
gollark: At this point I have no idea how its stock ROM manages to actually boot since it appears to somehow not have a system partition.
