Berwyn range, Mountain range and conservation site in Powys, Wales
The Berwyn Range extends across 24,321 hectares of moorland, featuring peaks reaching 832 meters and valleys covered in heather and acidic grasslands.
In 1165, King Henry II's army attempted to invade Gwynedd through the Berwyn Range but had to retreat due to severe weather conditions.
The name Berwyn derives from Welsh language elements, with 'bar' referring to a summit and 'gwyn' meaning white, reflecting the local geographical nomenclature.
Natural Resources Wales manages this Site of Special Scientific Interest, implementing conservation measures to protect its diverse ecosystems and geological formations.
The range includes a standing stone near the summit between Cadair Berwyn and Tomle, which underwent restoration and re-erection in 2008.
