Craig y Llyn is a hill in Wales, the highest point in the traditional county of Glamorgan and the highest in the South Wales Valleys. The hill is covered by forestry, except for the steep north face, and is crowned with a trig point. Several footpaths cross near the summit of the hill, including the Coed Morgannwg Way, and the county boundary between Neath Port Talbot and Rhondda Cynon Taff passes 200 m to the east of the summit. The highest point in Rhondda Cynon Taff is the highest point along the border, and not the summit itself, which is entirely within Neath Port Talbot. The only area of ground in Great Britain to be higher and further south than Craig y Llyn is Dartmoor.
