Kilvey Hill, Hill summit in St. Thomas, Swansea, United Kingdom
Rising to 193 meters, Kilvey Hill stands prominently over Swansea, offering clear views of the city center, docks, bay, and Lower Swansea Valley.
The Welsh originally named this elevation Y Bigwrn, with its peak called Pen y Bigwrn, before it became known as Mynydd Cilfái in modern times.
The central section contains Kilvey Community Woodland, creating a natural space where local residents participate in outdoor activities throughout the seasons.
Visitors can reach the summit through a concrete road from Bon-y-maen village or follow marked walking trails starting from multiple access points.
The annual Kilvey Killer race challenges participants to run up and down the hill carrying cement sacks, supporting the Singleton Hospital baby unit.
