Carneddol

Rising to a modest 235.9 metres, this Welsh Marilyn offers a characteristically isolated feel. Its significant prominence ensures it stands as a clear landmark in the local landscape, providing walkers with an expansive sense of space and views that reach across the surrounding lowlands towards the coastline.

• •The name is derived from the Welsh carnedd, meaning a cairn or rock-pile, typically used to describe a hill with a stony summit or one topped by a man-made mound.
• •Although it stands at only 774 feet, its classification as a Marilyn indicates it has at least 150 metres of prominence, making it one of the lowest hills in Wales to hold this status.
• •The summit offers a commanding view of the Llŷn Peninsula, including the nearby volcanic peak of Garn Fadryn and the dramatic coastline of Cardigan Bay.
• •It serves as a quiet reminder that a hill does not need to be high to be a Marilyn; it simply needs to ensure its neighbours are sufficiently far below it.
