Coity Mountain (also spelled Coety Mountain, Welsh: Mynydd Coety) is a flat-topped mountain in the South Wales Valleys, between Blaenavon and Abertillery. The highest points of both Torfaen and Blaenau Gwent unitary authorities are at the summit of Coity Mountain [1].
Much of the mountain, including the summit is included in the Blaenavon Industrial Landscape World Heritage Site [2], and a labyrinth of coal mines, including Big Pit National Coal Museum lies under the mountain.
At the summit, a memorial known as the "Dog Stone" commemorates Carlo the Red Setter, a dog shot accidentally by his master while hunting on the 1864-08-12 [3].
Although no public right of way leads to the summit, most of the mountain is access land under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 and can be freely traversed [4].
