Fforest (Carmarthenshire)

Fforest is the name applied to a small upland area adjoining the Vale of Towy, some 4 km north of the town of Llandovery in Carmarthenshire, Wales. Stretching for a distance of 4 km from southwest to northeast the area rises to two separate summits either side of a broad saddle; one at 297m in the south and a second one to the northeast crowned by a triangulation pillar which attains a height of 341m. The ridge is privately owned hence there is no public access to any part of it though it is encircled by public roads and paths.[1] The hills are formed from silty grey mudstones of uppermost/latest Ordovician age ascribed to the Yr Allt Formation.[2]
