At 549m, Gospel Pass is the highest road pass in Wales, a single-track lane squeezing between Twmpa and Hay Bluff before dropping into the Vale of Ewyas. The climb up from Hay-on-Wye is slow and narrow, with passing places and grazing sheep on the tarmac, but the summit gives a wide sweep of the Black Mountains. A popular spot to park and walk onto the ridge either side.
