About Mynydd y Glyn

Rising above the Tanat and Ceiriog valleys in the eastern Berwyns, this quiet grassy hill offers a peaceful alternative to the range's higher summits. Its rounded profile provides clear, unobstructed views north toward the loftier peaks of Moel Sych and west across the rolling borderlands of the Marches.

Did You Know?

  • The name translates from Welsh as 'Mountain of the Valley', a reference to its position overlooking the deep, steep-sided valleys that define this part of the Welsh Marches.
  • From the summit, walkers have a clear line of sight to the high Berwyn ridge, specifically the steep eastern escarpments of Cadair Berwyn and Moel Sych.
  • The hill is often climbed as part of a quieter circuit from the village of Llansilin, providing a lower-level alternative when the higher moorlands are shrouded in cloud.
  • At 389 metres, the hill is classified as a Hump, meaning it has a prominence of at least 100 metres relative to the surrounding landscape, making it a locally significant high point.
