    Foel Grach mountain refuge shelter is a great place to shelter from the weather if needed. Apparently put up in the sixties by the local council it is meant for emergency use and shelter only and not to be used as a bothy for overnight stays.

      Foel Grach is a mountain in the Carneddau range. It is the eighth-highest summit in Snowdonia as well as Wales, and is included in the Welsh 3000s. It is located on a broad ridge extending northwards from Carnedd Llewelyn to Carnedd Gwenllian and Foel-fras. An emergency refuge has been built below the summit.
