Carnedd Gwenllian (formerly known as Garnedd Uchaf) rises to 3,035 feet (925 m) as one of the highest points in the Carneddau. Its rock-strewn summit provides an extensive panorama, with the views towards neighbouring Carnedd Llewelyn and Yr Elen particularly fine.
The hill was subject to a campaign to change its name to Carnedd Gwenllian, named after Gwenllian of Wales. It has been labelled as both Garnedd Uchaf and Carnedd Gwenllian on Ordnance Survey maps since 2010.
