No marked path crosses Garreg Lwyd, also known as Moel Gornach, but it can be climbed from the car parks on the A4069 between Brynamman and Llangadog. A subsidiary summit of Fan Brycheiniog in the Black Mountain, it reaches 616 m and is the westernmost ground in South Wales above 2,000 feet. An ancient cairn with a trig point marks the top.
