On top of the motte on Craig Ruperra
Once here you can see why this has been such an important fort. Even on a hazy evening like this, to the south the view extends to Cardiff and beyond, out to the islands of Flatholm and Steepholm. Further east I could make out Newport transporter bridge and from north to east is a view of much of the Rhymney valley.
