Carnedd Llewelyn, Mountain summit in Gwynedd, United Kingdom.
Carnedd Llywelyn reaches 1064 meters in elevation, making it the third highest mountain peak in Wales after Snowdon and Carnedd Ugain.
The mountain witnessed an RAF Avro Lincoln aircraft crash in March 1950, resulting in the loss of six crew members during a night training exercise.
The mountain name translates to Llywelyn's cairn in Welsh, referencing Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, one of the last independent princes of Wales.
The summit connects to four distinct ridges and offers multiple access routes, with the most direct path starting from Gerlan near Bethesda.
The mountain houses Llyn Llyffant, the highest natural lake in Wales, situated in a hollow just beneath the main summit plateau.
