Breidden Hill, Summit and hill in Powys, United Kingdom.
Breidden Hill rises to 367 meters above sea level, featuring steep cliffs and offering views across the Welsh countryside and Shropshire Plain.
The summit contains remains of an Iron Age hillfort, potentially marking the location of Caractacus's final resistance against Roman forces in Britain.
The Breidden Society, established in 1789, held annual gatherings near Rodney's Pillar for celebrations involving poetry, songs, and local festivities.
Multiple footpaths lead to the summit where visitors find Rodney's Pillar, a prominent stone monument visible from considerable distances across Wales.
The hill's geological structure consists of gabbroic-dolerite rock, extensively quarried at Criggion Quarry for roadstone production since the 19th century.
