Mynydd Perfedd

Mynydd Perfedd is a mountain summit in Gwynedd, Wales, rising to 813 meters above sea level with a shelter cairn at its peak. The eastern face features steep cliffs that form a distinctive profile when viewed from lower elevations.

The mountain was shaped during glacial periods through ice movement that sculpted the entire Snowdonia region. These geological processes left behind the steep slopes and rock formations visible today.

The name Mynydd Perfedd reflects the Welsh language heritage of the region, connecting the landscape to traditional Welsh mountain nomenclature. Visitors can experience this link to local culture through the use of the Welsh name in maps and walking guides.

The summit can be reached through several walking routes, with the nearest base facilities located in the town of Bangor. Visitors should prepare for changing weather conditions and bring appropriate hill-walking equipment.

A distinctive rock spike stands on the southern side of the peak, set apart from the main summit formation. This natural rock feature is a notable landmark that walkers may discover while ascending.
