Craig y Llyn

Rising to exactly 600 metres, this Welsh Marilyn is a prominent high point defined by its dramatic northern escarpment. Classified as a Hump and Tump, the summit provides a commanding vantage point. The climb is rewarded with specific views over the glacial waters of Llyn Fawr and the surrounding deep valleys.

• •The name translates from Welsh as 'Rock of the Lake,' specifically referring to the dramatic, north-facing sandstone cliffs that characterize the summit plateau.
• •The Llyn Fawr Hoard, discovered in the waters below the summit in 1911, includes some of the earliest iron objects found in Britain, now preserved in the National Museum Wales.
• •Being classified as a Marilyn means this summit has at least 150 metres of prominence, ensuring the views south towards the Bristol Channel are not blocked by any neighbouring high ground.
