    Tips

    August 21, 2023

    There are many peaks named Y Garn ('the cairn' or 'the rock') in North Wales. The most famous undoubtedly belongs to the Glyderau, while the northern termination of the Crib Nantlle (the Nantlle Ridge) is a prominent peak too.



    This Y Garn doesn't have the same fame, though it does enjoy the status of inclusion in the Mountain Route version of the Snowdonia Way long-distance trail. An outlier of the ancient Rhinogydd range, it affords excellent views towards its parent peaks.
