The Book
A book was written about "Ffynnon Garw" which was made into a film The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain (1995). The location of Ffynnon Garw rather implies it is The Garth; however, the story is fictional. The popular movie has resulted in a stream of visitors climbing to the summit of Garth Mountain to view the location.
The History Society and the local community council are erecting a notice on the mountain to explain its real historical significance. The new notice will tell them that the story in the Hugh Grant film is not true. To set the record straight the Pentyrch History Society and Community Council will leave the information notice up near the summit.
