Caerphilly Mountain has a rather ambitious name given that it rises to a charming 889 feet (271 m) but it’s absolutely well worth the ascent as its views are wonderful. …

Great little view point with a nearby cafe and large car park. Top spot.

Hiking
Caerphilly Mountain is located in the Vale of Glamorgan in Caerphilly and stands at 271 m above sea level.
There are some magnificent panoramic views on offer here across Cardiff and Caerphilly, Feet, and on a sunny day, even over to Flat Home and Steep Home Islands, a pair of welsh islands lying in the Bristol Channel.
