Carnedd Dafydd, Mountain peak in Snowdonia, Wales.
The third highest mountain in Wales reaches 1044 meters and features a flat, boulder-covered plateau near the Ysgolion Duon rock formations.
The mountain bears the name of Dafydd ap Gruffudd, the brother of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, the last independent Prince of Wales.
The summit forms part of the Welsh 3000s challenge, a mountaineering feat involving all fifteen mountains in Wales over 3000 feet.
Hikers can start from the A5 at Pont Pen y Benglog, climb Pen yr Ole Wen first, then follow the ridge to reach the summit.
The mountain experiences an average annual temperature between 3 and 4 degrees Celsius, making it one of the coldest locations in Wales.
