Overview

The northern end of the Rhinogydd ridge is a wonderful wilderness of rocky crags, hidden pools, and faint sheep-paths winding through heather and bilberry. With the highest of its three modest tops reaching only 623 metres, it attracts very few visitors, providing a real mountain feel away from the crowds. Today’s walk heads to the ridge over rough, often boggy, moorland and along rough tracks and paths, to visit all three tops, Clip, Moel Ysgyfarnogod and Penolau, with excellent views of the coast and distant mountains.
