About Craig Dolfudr North Top [Pennant-Lliw]
Sitting within the quiet northern reaches of the Arenig range, this rugged Tump offers a wilder experience than its more famous neighbours. Reaching 519 metres, it provides a quiet vantage point over the Afon Lliw valley, with particularly clear views across to the massive eastern face of Arenig Fawr.

Did You Know?
- •The name is Welsh in origin, with 'Craig' meaning crag and 'Dolfudr' likely deriving from 'Dol' (meadow) and 'fudr' (dirty or muddy), referring to the marshy ground in the valley below.
- •The summit offers a specific, close-up perspective of the northern slopes of Arenig Fawr and the remote, winding course of the Afon Lliw as it heads toward Llyn Celyn.
- •Though it stands at over 1,700 feet, it remains a relatively lonely spot, usually only visited by those traversing the pathless heather moorland between the Lliw valley and the higher peaks to the south.
- •It is classified as a Tump, a category for hills with a prominence of at least 30 metres—a status that ensures you'll likely have to cross at least one significant patch of Welsh bog to reach it.
