Tarren y Gesail, Mountain summit in Gwynedd, Wales
The mountain reaches an elevation of 667 meters and features a grassy ridge marked by a cairn and triangulation point at its peak.
The mountain forms part of the ancient Cambrian Mountains range, which developed through geological processes over millions of years in Wales.
