Tarren Hendre's grassy summit is the southernmost 2,000-foot (610 m) peak in Snowdonia. This position gives it unique views into mid Wales towards Plylimon and north towards the great mass of Cadair Idris. It's also the first summit visited on the Snowdonia Way Mountain Route.

Running

Tarrenhendre at 633m is one of the tops in the Cadair Idris mountain group. It's a big grassy summit with a steeper top and a cairn. It's a good run partly due to its loneliness, you probably won't see anyone and you can have a proper wild adventure!
