Cerrig Coediog

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.
