About Cerrig Coediog
Tucked away in the northern reaches of the Berwyns, this wild, heathery Tump offers a quieter alternative to the main ridge. Reaching just under the 2,000-foot mark, its slopes are often pathless and boggy, rewarding those who enjoy navigating rough terrain with wide-reaching views across the Dee Valley and towards the Arenig range.

Did You Know?
- •The name Cerrig Coediog translates from Welsh as "wooded stones" or "stony wooded place," hinting at a time when these now-exposed moorlands were covered in timber.
- •As a northern outlier of the Berwyn range, the summit offers a clear perspective of the main ridge's scale, with views stretching south to the high points of Cadair Berwyn and Moel Sych.
- •The approach from the village of Llandrillo is favored by those seeking solitude, as it avoids the more popular routes that climb the range from the south or east.
- •In the Berwyns, the "path" is often more of a suggestion than a certainty; visitors should expect a hands-on encounter with deep heather and the occasional peat hag.
