Moel Sych, Mountain summit in Denbighshire, Wales.
Moel Sych rises to 827 meters above sea level, marking the third highest point within the Berwyn range of northeast Wales.
The mountain stood as the presumed highest point in both Denbighshire and Montgomeryshire until surveys revealed a taller peak between Moel Sych and Cadair Berwyn.
Welsh language defines the mountain's name as 'dry hill', reflecting the geographical characteristics of this elevation in the Berwyn mountains.
Multiple trails lead to the summit, with route po142 from Pistyll Rhaeadr offering a moderate 9.5-kilometer hike with 771 meters of elevation gain.
The summit lies at the intersection of three historic Welsh counties: Montgomeryshire, Denbighshire, and Merionethshire, making it a significant geographical marker.
