<p>Flint mountain is a bit of an oddity - it's not even a summit but
a village. But the Welsh word you're looking for is mynydd<br>
</p>
<p>Mynydd Caerffili (Caerphilly Mountain) i which I could see from
here if it wasn't for the weather is 271m (889ft). <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>While my little Welsh dictionary has mynydd <=> mountain, <a
href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mynydd">Wiktionary</a> also
has it meaning "large hill". <a
href="https://geiriadur.uwtsd.ac.uk/index.php?page=ateb&term=hill&direction=ew&type=all&whichpart=exact&search=#ateb_top">UWTSD
Geiriadur </a>doesn't include "mynydd" in its list of words for
hill</p>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">In North East
Wales there are a lot of hills called mountains which are not
really very high at all - for example Flint Mountain ( 296ft),
Hope Mountain, Buckley Mountain, Ewloe Mountain etc. I suspect
calling these Mountains comes from an English translation of
a more general Welsh Name.<br>

<div dir="ltr">When I was a child I remember being told that a
mountain was anything over around 300m / 1000ft. So by that
definition Cornwall does indeed have mountains, but then
again it would also imply that the Cotswolds includes
mountains and Berkshire is within a few metres of doing so!

<div>I suppose it begs the question "what is a mountain?" </div>
<div>Rather a subjective term but I guess something that
rises around 500 metres above the surrounding land and is
rugged, rocky and potentially hazardous in the wrong
conditions would fit the bill.</div>
