Gau Graig, Mountain summit in Gwynedd, United Kingdom
Gau Graig rises to 683.7 meters within the Cadair Idris range, featuring grassy plateaus and stone formations across its broad eastern ridge point.
The summit retains evidence of ancient geological formations dating back to the last ice age, when glaciers shaped the mountains of Snowdonia National Park.
Local mountaineering groups maintain traditional walking routes through Gau Graig, connecting multiple peaks of the Cadair Idris range for seasonal expeditions.
Hikers access the summit through marked trails from Dolgellau, with navigation requiring Landranger Map 124 or Explorer Map OL23W for proper orientation.
The position of Gau Graig offers unobstructed views of neighboring peaks including Mynydd Gwerngraig, Mynydd Moel, and the main Cadair Idris summit.
