Lliwedd Bach, Mountain summit in Snowdonia National Park, United Kingdom.
Description
Lliwedd Bach is a mountain summit in Snowdonia with a height of around 800 meters (2,625 feet). The terrain features a broad northern slope and rocky sections that connect toward the neighboring peak of Gallt y Wenallt.
History
The summit formed through the same geological processes that shaped the entire Snowdonia region. Glacial movements during ice ages further sculpted the landscape and defined its rocky character.
Culture
The name means 'small grey peak' in Welsh, a reference to the rocky composition visible as you climb higher. This kind of naming reflects how locals have long described the mountains around them based on their appearance.
Practical
The approach is best made via marked paths starting near Llanberis. Sturdy footwear and preparation for changeable weather are advisable, as the exposed ridge can be windy.

On clear days, the summit offers sweeping views across the surrounding peaks, including Snowdon and Crib Goch. This vantage point makes it a worthwhile stop for those wanting to see the broader mountain landscape from a different angle.
