Castell y Gwynt, Summit in Glyderau range, Wales.
Castell y Gwynt reaches an elevation of 972 meters, featuring sharp rock formations at its peak within the Snowdonia National Park boundaries.
The mountain received its classification as a Nuttall following a 2007 survey that confirmed its prominence of 15.7 meters above the surrounding terrain.
The mountain formations of Castell y Gwynt served as a filming location for the 1981 Walt Disney production 'Dragonslayer', alongside the Cantilever Stone.
Multiple hiking trails connect to the summit from different starting points, with the main route beginning at the Ogwen Valley parking area.
The summit contains jagged rock spires that extend upward from the mountain top, creating formations that resemble castle battlements.
