Bryn
y Beili (SJ 235 643)
There has been a Significant Height Revision initiated by a survey with the Trimble GeoXH 6000 to the listing of the 100m Twmpau (thirty welsh metre prominences and upward), with these details being retrospective as the survey that resulted in this height revision was conducted on 8th April 2014. With the criteria for 100m Twmpau status being all Welsh hills at or above 100m and below 200m in height that have a minimum 30m of drop.

With the criteria for 100m Twmpau status being all Welsh hills at or above 100m and below 200m in height that have a minimum 30m of drop.
The name of the hill is Bryn y Beili (Bailey Hill in English) and it is situated in the Bryniau Clwyd range of
hills and is positioned in the town centre of Yr Wyddgrug (Mold), which is situated in north-east
Wales. The survey was conducted in the company of Mark Trengove over two days,
three weeks apart, and it was Mark who proposed that this hill was a candidate
for becoming a new P30, his inclination proved correct. With the first survey concentrating on the
bwlch and which resulted in an unfortunate incident when the Trimble wrestled with a car
and was run over, whilst the second survey concentrated on the summit of the hill.
The hill can be accessed from the top of the High Street in Yr Wyddgrug
(Mold), although the hill is prominent
within the town it is almost hidden from view as it rises behind the former
Pendref Chapel and is surrounded by a high wall, trees and shrubs.
The summit height of Bryn y Beili has been increased
from its current Ordnance Survey map height, as prior to the survey with the
Trimble GeoXH 6000 the hill was not listed as it only had an uppermost ring
contour of 130m on Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer maps, with a 135m spot height
appearing on lower ground in the centre of a bowling rink on the Ordnance
Survey enlarged mapping hosted on the Geograph website. The hill's new summit height is 143.0m (converted to OSGM15) which is 8.0m higher than the 135m spot
height.
