It’s a fact that proximity to the sea makes a peak feel higher. Yr Eifl has its ankles in Caernarfon Bay, and from its top Tremadog Bay on the other side of the Llyn Peninsula seems almost as close. As such, this modest mountain has a genuine loftiness, along with three summits and an Iron Age hill fort.
