Corndon Hill

About Corndon Hill

Corndon Hill (Welsh: Cornatyn) is a hill in Powys, mid Wales, whose summit rises to 513.6 metres. Surrounded on three sides by the English county of Shropshire, it forms a prominent landmark on the England–Wales border and is listed as a Marilyn; geologically it is part of the Shropshire Hills range, which lies mainly to the north, east and south of the summit.

The hill's prominent western edge appears to form a separate hill and is known locally as Lan Fawr, Welsh for 'big hill'. The summit gives panoramic views and is itself an important landmark for the surrounding countryside and for towns such as Montgomery, with villages including Church Stoke and Hyssington close by. It is frequented by walkers and ramblers setting out from nearby car parks, at Mitchell's Fold for example.
