Blorenge overlooks the market town of Abergavenny and the villages of Llanfoist and Govilon in the Usk Valley to the north.
At the foot of the mountain lies the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal.
It drops away steeply to the northwest into Cwm Llanwenarth.
To the south, gentler slopes fall away to Blaenavon at the head of the Lwyd valley.
Prominent peaks seen from the Blorenge include the Skirrid to the east of Abergavenny and the Sugar Loaf to the north.
The high moorland ridge continues to the south of the minor road at Foxhunter car park and assumes the name Mynydd y Garn-fawr.
The cairn referenced in the title of this southerly shoulder of Blorenge may be that now known as Carn y Defaid which sits on the county boundary at a height of 503m.
It is the most prominent amongst a handful of Bronze Age burial cairns.
