Beacon Hill, Monmouthshire, Summit and hill region in Monmouthshire, Wales.
The eastern slopes of Beacon Hill descend into the Wye Valley, with its summit reaching 306 meters above sea level marked by a triangulation pillar.
Natural Resources Wales manages the former Forestry Commission land, which has transformed from timber production grounds to a balanced recreational and conservation space.
The hill's paths connect to the Wye Valley Walk, a 136-mile route from Chepstow to Hafren Forest, forming part of the regional walking heritage.
Visitors can access the hill through a designated car park on the western side, with information panels explaining the surrounding landscape features.
The summit consists of quartz conglomerate from the Upper Old Red Sandstone group, representing sedimentary deposits from the late Devonian period.
