Drum, Mountain summit in Conwy County Borough, Wales.
Drum rises to 770 meters within the Carneddau mountains of northern Wales, featuring grassy slopes that lead to a distinctive cairn at its peak.
The mountain served as a testing site for Blue Joker, an experimental airborne early-warning radar system, during military operations in 1956.
The name Drum stems from Welsh language where 'Y Drum' refers to a ridge formation, reflecting the geographical features of this mountainous region.
Hikers access the summit through various trails from the village of Rowen, with grid reference SH 70846 69590 marking the exact location.
The mountain's eastern section channels water through the Afon Tafolog, which flows as a tributary into the larger River Conwy system.
