    Hiking

    Moelwyn Mawr is a breathtaking peak that is surprisingly little-visited by most hikers. From the summit, you can see Cnicht’s ridge, Snowdon, Yr Aran, and Y Lliwedd. You can also observe 15 lakes nestled within the landscape.

    Hiking

    Walking especially from baldness squash. The outstanding hike around Moelwyns. An opportunity to appreciate the industrial past of Cwmorthin.
