From the Wikipedia article
Gyrn Moelfre is a mountain in Powys, mid-Wales, near the border with Shropshire. It stands to the south-east of the Berwyns, from which it is separated by Afon Ysgwennant. The village of Llansilin lies on its south-west slopes. It was historically in Denbighshire, but the area was transferred to Powys in 1996. This mountain served as the filming location for the film ‘The man who went up a hill and came down a mountain’, posing as ‘Garth Mill’ from Gwynedd. In the modern era, the "Gyrn" has played host to the British Downhill Series and some other smaller events on the downhill calendar.
