    Tips

    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.

      Carnedd Gwenllian (named Garnedd Uchaf before 2009) is a minor summit of the Carneddau range in Snowdonia, Wales, and included in the Welsh 3000s. From the summit, distant views to the north can extend as far as Ireland and the Isle of Man, and to the South as far as the Berwyn Ranges. It is a UK listed Nuttall.
