Overview

9 miles classic mountain walk with excellent views. 1,900ft ascent. There are some rough rocky sections but also plenty of easy walking. After a road section the route ascends to Llyn Arenig Fawr, climbs a ridge and then across a flat section before the main ascent to the summit. The descent is via the col below Moel Lyfnant and a track which descends gradually back to the road.
