Garth Hill
Garth Hill is a Marilyn, 307m high, and also counts as a HuMP. The Marilyns are hills anywhere in Britain and Ireland with at least 150 metres of prominence, whatever their height.
Taffs Well is the nearest station, 1.4 mi (about 2 mi on foot), so the summit is within walking distance of the train. From Taffs Well it's about 1 hour to the summit, 1 in 8 on average. Trefforest Estate is next, 1.7 mi (about 2.5 mi on foot), and 51 stations are within 10 miles in all.
Garth Hill is a hill located in between the communities of Llantwit Fardre and Pentyrch in Wales. The Garth can be seen from nearly the whole of the city of Cardiff and the Taff Valley, and on a sunny, clear day as far as Weston-super-Mare across the Bristol Channel in southwest England and north to Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons. It lies adjacent to the Taff Vale with the village of Pentyrch on one side and looks down onto the small villages of Gwaelod-y-Garth and Taff's Well.
