Bryn Arw is a hill summit in the Black Mountains that features two distinct peaks connected by a curved ridge. The hill rises to approximately 384 meters above sea level with this ridge running in a north-south direction across the landscape.
History
The hill formed during the Devonian period from mudstones and sandstones of the Senni Beds Formation. This ancient rock layer created the geological foundation that still shapes the summit today.
