Tips

Trail Magazine

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.

Yr Eifl 564m, is a hill summit on the Lleyn Peninsula in North Wales. On a clear day, the views from the top summit reach as far as the Isle of Man, the Wicklow mountains in Ireland and the Lake District, as well as the entire sweep of Cardigan Bay. It is listed as a UK Marilyn.
