Bera Mawr, Mountain summit in Carneddau range, Gwynedd, United Kingdom.
Located at 794 meters altitude, Bera Mawr features a substantial rock tor formation and provides views across the northern Carneddau mountains range.
The northern foothills of Bera Mawr witnessed the capture of Prince Dafydd ap Gruffudd in June 1283, marking the end of independent Welsh rule.
The mountain stands near peaks named after Welsh leaders Llywelyn the Great and Prince Dafydd, reflecting the regional connection to medieval Welsh nobility.
Multiple hiking paths lead to the summit from Aber Falls or Bethesda, requiring proper equipment and weather monitoring for a safe ascent.
The peak forms part of the Berau formation alongside Bera Bach, with both mountains displaying characteristic geological structures of the western Carneddau.
