About Rhos
Tucked away in the northern Berwyns, this broad, heather-clad dome offers a quieter perspective than the range’s higher peaks. It sits on the high moorland ridge between Moel Fferna and Cadair Bronwen, providing a wild, peat-hags-and-grouse-moor experience that rewards those seeking solitude away from the main honeypots.

Did You Know?
- •The name is the Welsh word for 'moor' or 'moorland,' an accurate summary of the vast, high-altitude plateau that characterises this part of the Berwyn range.
- •From the summit, the view west is dominated by the massive bulk of Arenig Fawr, with the distant peaks of the Glyderau and Carneddau often visible across the Dee Valley on clear days.
- •This area of the Berwyns is a significant habitat for red grouse; their distinctive 'go-back' calls are often the only sound to break the silence on this isolated ridge.
- •Navigating the ground between here and neighbouring Moel Fferna is a masterclass in patience, as the deep heather and hidden peat hags turn a short stroll into a high-knees workout.
