Glanfeinion Hill [Craig y Paun]

Rising above the Severn Valley in Central Wales, this 535-metre summit offers a quiet, grassy ascent typical of the region's rolling uplands. The broad, open top provides an excellent vantage point to look west toward the Plynlimon range and northwest to the distant silhouettes of the Aran mountains.

• •The Welsh name, Craig y Paun, translates as 'Peacock’s Rock'. In local toponymy, this is an unusual element, occasionally used to describe a particularly 'proud' or prominent outcrop on an otherwise smooth hillside.
• •The summit provides a clear perspective of the upper Severn Valley as it winds toward Llanidloes, with the distinctive peaks of the Arans visible on the northwest horizon.
• •This hill sits on the watershed between the River Severn to the north and the smaller tributaries that feed south into the River Ithon and the Wye catchment.
