Moelfre is a hill in Wales on the far western edge of the Snowdonia National Park, 3 miles (4.8 km) from the village of Dyffryn Ardudwy, 5 miles (8.0 km) from the village of Llanbedr and about 10 miles (16 km) from the town of Harlech. It forms part of the Rhinogydd range. Moelfre reaches a height of 589 metres (1,932 ft) and it is a UK listed Marilyn. It is marked by a cairn.

This is a great mountain but very hard. It is a long walk to get to the mountain. I would say around 2 hours to get there.

Tips if you have dogs:
If you have dogs it is a great walk for them although if they have small paws, they could fall through some of the gaps between the rocks just before the summit. We had to carry her over some of it.

Very nice view and a great walk. EXPERT LEVEL TOTALLY! It is really hard and rough at the top but just follow where you think the best place is.
