Mynydd Maendy, Summit in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales.
Mynydd Maendy reaches an elevation of 301 meters and presents a rounded profile with moorland vegetation used for sheep grazing throughout the year.
The summit contains an Iron Age Celtic hillfort, which ranks as the largest undefended settlement of its type in southeast Wales from 800 BC.
The name originates from Welsh words maen dy, meaning stone house, reflecting the linguistic heritage of the Welsh mountainous landscapes.
The summit features twenty wind turbines generating renewable energy since 1993, with plans to replace them with seven larger structures for increased production.
From the hilltop, the wind turbines remain visible across distances of 32 kilometers during clear weather conditions, marking the regional landscape.
