Y Foel Goch

Y Foel Goch rises to 805 meters above sea level and features grassy terrain with scattered rock outcrops leading to a small cairn at its peak.

The mountain stands within the boundaries of the former historic county of Caernarfonshire, which merged into Conwy County Borough during the 1996 administrative reforms.

The Welsh name translates to 'red bold hill' in English, following the traditional Welsh practice of naming geographical features based on their physical characteristics.

Hikers can reach the summit through established trails connecting to neighboring peaks Gallt yr Ogof and Glyder Fach, with the OS Landranger map 115 covering the route.

Between Glyder Fach and Y Foel Goch lies Llyn Caseg-fraith lake, which mirrors the reflection of Tryfan mountain in its waters.
