Foel y Geifr

Rising above the south-eastern shores of Llyn Tegid, this grassy, heather-clad dome sits on the disputed border between the Berwyns and the Arans. The terrain is characteristically boggy, but the summit trig point offers a quiet, expansive vantage point overlooking the Hirnant valley and the nearby heights of Esgeiriau Gwynion.

• •The name translates from Welsh as 'Hill of the Goats', suggesting a history of feral or farmed goats grazing these high, heathery slopes above the Hirnant valley.
• •While it forms part of the Hirnant horseshoe and is often associated with the Berwyn range, geographers typically classify it as the easternmost outpost of the Aran mountains.
• •From the summit trig point, you are rewarded with a clear view west across the length of Llyn Tegid towards the jagged skyline of the main Aran ridge.
• •The debate over whether this hill belongs to the Arans or the Berwyns is likely of more interest to map-makers than walkers, who will be more occupied by the impressively deep bogs guarding the approach.
