Myarth is a hill in the Usk Valley in Brecknockshire, about two miles west of Crickhowell. Its summit at 958 ft is covered by trees, whilst the larger part of its slopes are also wooded. It is listed as a Marilyn. Myarth has an elongated form commonly ascribed to erosion by the west-to-east movement of the Usk Valley glacier during successive ice ages. The River Usk runs along the foot of the hill on its southern side. Myarth forms a prominent feature in many views over the Usk Valley and often features in commercial photography of the area.
Though it is ringed by public roads—the A40 to the north and a minor road to the south—there is no public access to the hill itself, which is in private ownership.[1]
In 2016, the hill was used as the location for a segment of an episode of the motoring series The Grand Tour.
