Foel Gron is a minor summit on the ridge down between Moel Eilio and Foel Goch. It rewards with fine views down Cwm Dwythwch towards Llanberis, as well as south over Llyn Cwellyn towards the beguiling Nantlle Ridge.

Hiking

Down from Moel Ellio, this was a drop and them climb to the top, not too bad from the hills around this one. Great views to the lakes either side.
