Mynydd y Glyn, Mountain summit in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales.

Mynydd y Glyn is a 377-meter summit in Wales featuring stone walls that cross its grassy slopes. A trig point marks the top and established footpaths provide clear passage across the terrain.

The mountain appeared in a 1995 film depicting a Welsh village story set during the early 1900s. This connection to popular culture brought some attention to the location.

The mountain serves as a familiar landmark for people living in nearby communities and remains part of their everyday landscape and local identity.

Visit during dry weather when paths are easier to manage and safer underfoot. Parking near the base is limited, so arriving early helps secure a spot.

Modern stone structures built by visitors along the walking routes resemble figures from popular science fiction television shows. These creative additions have become part of the landscape that hikers encounter.
