Mynydd y Drum, Hill summit in Ystradgynlais and Tawe Uchaf, Wales.
Mynydd y Drum rises to 338 meters, forming a broad curving ridge between Powys and Neath Port Talbot County Borough in South Wales.
The nineteenth-century Claypon's Tramroad extension connected industrial sites from Onllwyn to Ystalyfera through the slopes of Mynydd y Drum.
Local folklore tells of three gold cauldrons buried at the summit, protected by demons, with a prophecy stating a young girl will discover them.
Multiple public footpaths and bridleways provide access from surrounding communities, including Abercraf, Ystradgynlais, and Seven Sisters.
The eastern section contains the Nant Helen Opencast Coal Mine, extracting resources from sandstone and mudstone formations of South Wales Coal Measures.
