Rhinog Fawr

Rhinog Fawr rises to 720 meters, featuring steep rock faces, heather-covered slopes, and a small tarn called Llyn Du at 510 meters elevation.

The mountain stands along the ancient Roman Steps path, which served as a trade route connecting northern and southern regions of Wales during medieval times.

The peak forms part of the Cambrian Way, a substantial walking path extending from Cardiff to Conwy through numerous Welsh mountain ranges.

The ascent requires navigation skills as multiple trails lead to the summit, with the northeastern route starting from Graigddu-isaf offering clearer path markers.

The mountain holds the status of a Marilyn with a prominence of 363 meters, making it visible from considerable distances across Gwynedd.
