Mynydd y Betws, Summit in Swansea, United Kingdom
Mynydd y Betws rises to 373 meters above sea level, featuring extensive grasslands on the northern border between Swansea and Carmarthenshire.
The medieval castle remains of Penlle'r Castell, located south-southwest of the summit, indicate long-term human settlement in this Welsh upland region.
The summit marks a significant tri-point boundary where three Welsh counties meet: Swansea, Carmarthenshire, and Neath Port Talbot.
Access to the summit involves following the Gower Way from the eastern parking area, with navigation support from Ordnance Survey Explorer Map 165.
The Mynydd y Betws Wind Farm, established in 2013, generates 34.5 MW of power through fifteen 110-meter-tall turbines across the mountain landscape.
