It’s a delightful spot for those who enjoy the smell of pine and the constant threat of a navigational 'learning opportunity' in the Gwydir Forest.

Did You Know?
- •The name literally translates to 'Mountain of Two Lakes,' referring to its position squeezed between the waters of Llyn Crafnant and Llyn Geirionydd.
- •The fell is located in the heart of the Gwydir Forest, an area once bustling with lead and zinc miners who operated here until the early 20th century.
- •The nearby church of St Rhychwyn is often cited as the oldest in Wales, originally built for Llywelyn the Great to save his wife a long walk.
- •Much of the surrounding woodland was planted by the Forestry Commission in the 1920s, transforming the once-industrial mining landscape into the lush canopy seen today.
- •Navigating the dense forest tracks to find the summit is a fantastic way to test the limits of your patience and your GPS. Expect to emerge from the bracken looking like you’ve lost a wrestling match with a gorse bush while a local sheep watches with silent, heavy judgement.
