Mynydd Tal-y-Mignedd

Mynydd Tal-y-Mignedd is a mountain summit along the Nantlle Ridge in Gwynedd, Wales, sitting at 653 meters. The peak lies within Snowdonia National Park and can be reached by several established walking routes that start from different trailheads.

A stone obelisk was erected on the summit in the late 1800s to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. The monument remains standing on the peak today, marking this period of Victorian Britain.

The mountain is woven into local walking culture, where hikers regularly cross its ridge as part of traditional routes through the area. The surrounding peaks carry Welsh names that reflect the landscape and connect visitors to the region's heritage.

The climb is demanding and requires good fitness, with steep sections and rocky scrambles along the way. Weather changes quickly at this height, so hikers should come prepared for rain and wind at any time.

The peak connects to the neighboring Trum y Ddysgl through a natural arete, a narrow ridge of rock that forms a striking geological feature. This direct link makes the traverse between the two summits especially memorable for those who walk it.
