A named place photographed at this map point in Powys.
Glascwm Hill rises to approximately 250 metres and is part of the gently undulating landscape of the Welsh Marches. Its name, derived from Welsh *glas* (grey) and *cwm* (valley), suggests a local association with a grey-coloured valley or glen. It matters as a subtle yet distinctive feature in the rural topography of Powys, reflecting the region's Celtic linguistic heritage.
