Beacon Hill, Summit peak in Powys, Wales.
Beacon Hill rises to 547 meters above sea level, offering views over the surrounding Welsh countryside and neighboring River Teme valley.
The summit contains an Ordnance Survey triangulation pillar, which served as a mapping reference point for the national grid system.
Known as Mynydd Disglair in Welsh, this hill represents the traditional dual-language heritage of the Powys region.
Multiple forest tracks traverse the slopes, with a designated car park on the western side providing access for visitors and hikers.
The hill's geology features distinctive Quartz Conglomerate formations from the Upper Old Red Sandstone period, dating back to Devonian times.
