3 km from Llanvihangel Crucorney, Monmouthshire/Sir Fynwy, Great Britain

Ysgyryd Fawr trig point

Ysgyryd Fawr, or Skirrid Fawr (486m). Situated on the outskirts of Abergavenny Gwent. Known locally as 'The Holy Mountain'. There are remains of an ancient chapel on the summit. The western end of the mountain had a substantial landslide at some time. Locally, stories state the land slide occurred at the exact moment Jesus died on the cross.
