Rhinog Fawr, Mountain summit in Snowdonia, Wales.
Description
Rhinog Fawr is a mountain summit in the Rhinog range rising to 720 meters with dramatic rocky crags and heather-covered slopes. A small mountain lake called Llyn Du sits at approximately 510 meters elevation on the mountainside.
History
The mountain sits along an old path that historically served as a trade route connecting northern and southern Wales. This ancient way remains visible in the landscape today as a recognized walking path.
Culture
The peak forms part of the Cambrian Way, a substantial walking path extending from Cardiff to Conwy through numerous Welsh mountain ranges.
Practical
The climb requires some navigation skills since multiple paths lead to the summit and route conditions vary based on starting points. The northeastern approach from Graigddu-isaf offers the clearest trail markings and is generally easier to follow.
