Manod Mawr, Mountain summit in Conwy County Borough, Wales.
Manod Mawr rises to 661 meters above sea level, featuring a boulder with shelter positioned 50 meters east of the triangulation point base.
During World War II, the mountain's tunnels served as a secure storage location for the National Gallery of London's collection of paintings.
The Welsh name of this peak translates to 'great snowdrift', reflecting the traditional local observations of winter weather patterns in the region.
Visitors can access the mountain using Landranger Map 124 or Explorer Map OL18W, with multiple hiking paths leading from the nearby town of Tanygrisiau.
The summit stands within an exclusion zone of Snowdonia National Park, near the former Graig Ddu Quarry at the 600-meter elevation mark.
