Cefn Cyfarwydd, Hill summit in Conwy County Borough, Wales.
Cefn Cyfarwydd stands at 501.7 meters above sea level, featuring a flat top with numerous wet pools and patches scattered across its heathery moorland surface.
The ridge contains multiple Bronze Age settlement remains, along with traces of past industrial activities including peat cutting, quarrying, and slate mining operations.
The name combines Welsh words 'cefn' meaning ridge and 'cyfarwydd' translating to familiar or storyteller, reflecting the regional linguistic heritage of North Wales.
Multiple access paths lead to the summit from different starting points, including routes from Llyn Crafnant, Capel Curig, and Ffordd Cowlyd through established rights of way.
The northwestern slope drops sharply toward Llyn Cowlyd while the southeastern face descends to Llyn Crafnant, creating distinct geographical features in the Conwy valley.
