What is recorded here
A named place photographed at this map point in Neath Port Talbot.
Alltwen Hill rises to approximately 200 metres and is part of the gently undulating landscape of the South Wales Valleys. Its name may derive from Welsh *Aelwyth* (a personal name) and *bryn* (hillock), suggesting a long local association. The hill lies within the historic county of Glamorgan and is of interest for its connection to the surrounding rural and industrial heritage of Neath Port Talbot.
