Mynydd y Garn, Summit and hill on Isle of Anglesey, United Kingdom
The 170-meter-high hill features a stone obelisk and trig point at its peak, offering views across the northwestern part of Anglesey.
In 1897, local residents erected a commemorative stone obelisk at the summit to honor Sir William Thomas, a ship owner and High Sheriff of Anglesey.
The Welsh name Mynydd y Garn translates to 'hill of the cairn' in English, reflecting the geographical features and historical markers of this location.
Public footpaths provide access to the western slopes, while a permissive path connects from a minor road directly to the National Trust-owned summit.
The geological composition includes Ordovician sandstone at the summit, with Gwna Group schists on southern slopes and New Harbour Group formations nearby.
