To the northeast lies the Gospel Pass through which runs a minor road between Hay and the Llanthony Valley.

A ridge known as Darren Lwyd tapers away for about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the southeast of the summit.

Numerous landslips have occurred within the St Maughans Formation around the flanks of the hill.

[1] The entire hill is classed as open country under the CRoW Act and is therefore available for walkers to roam freely across.

The most well-used track is that running west from Gospel Pass (where car parking is available), over its summit and then southwest towards Rhos Dirion.
