Moel Lefn, Mountain summit in Gwynedd, Wales.
Moel Lefn rises to 638 meters within the Moel Hebog range, featuring a northern face with distinct columnar jointing formations in rhyolite rock structures.
Two tall stone cairns stand on the eastern side of the mountain, marking locations that have guided travelers through these Welsh highlands for generations.
The name derives from Welsh language elements, indicating the geographical nature of this bare hill within the traditional landscapes of North Wales.
Marked hiking trails connect to neighboring peaks, with recommended access routes starting from local villages using Landranger Map 115 or Explorer Map OL17W.
