Mynydd y Glyn, Mountain summit in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales.
Mynydd y Glyn reaches an elevation of 377 meters, featuring a trig point and stone walls that stretch across its grassy slopes.
The mountain gained recognition through its portrayal as Ffynnon Garw in the 1995 film about Welsh villagers defending their mountain status during World War I.
The mountain represents the strong connection between Welsh communities and their landscape, as demonstrated through local narratives and traditional walking paths.
Visitors can reach the summit through marked footpaths from limited parking spaces near the farm track, with additional parking available at lower elevations.
The stone walls along the walking routes contain modern cairns constructed to resemble Dalek figures from science fiction television.
