Myarth, 292-meter summit in Cwmdu and District, Wales
Myarth is a 292-meter hill located in the Usk Valley with densely wooded slopes on all sides. Its elongated ridge runs from east to west and forms a natural woodland feature in the landscape.
The hill took its current form during past ice ages when a glacier carved through the Usk Valley. This glacial activity shaped the elongated ridge visible today.
The summit gained recognition in British hill classification systems as a Marilyn, marking its status among hills with a minimum prominence of 150 meters.
Access to this hill is limited since it sits on private land, even though walking routes pass nearby. Visitors should respect property boundaries and seek permission before attempting to reach the summit.
A small cairn sits atop a tree stump at the summit, a detail many walkers overlook on their visit. The thick forest coverage restricts views in all directions to just a few meters.
