Moelwyn Bach, Mountain summit in Gwynedd, Wales.
The 710-meter peak features continuous rocky outcrops along its ridges, with multiple trails leading through the quartzite formations of the Moelwynion range.
The mountain stands near former slate quarries that operated extensively during the nineteenth century, marking the industrial development of North Wales.
The mountain paths preserve traditional Welsh names and references, reflecting the strong connection between local language heritage and geographical features.
Hikers can access the summit from two main starting points: the Cwm Croesor valley or the Vale of Ffestiniog, with designated parking areas.
The Southern-Western Cliffs contain specialized climbing routes such as Man in the Moon and Maen Tŵr Og on distinct quartzite rock formations.
