Along Llechog ridge, and from the peak itself, you are treated to fantastic views north over Cwm Clogwyn and towards the Snowdon Ranger Path. Below you will see the lakes of Llyn Nadroedd, Llyn Coch and Llyn Glas. It is quite exposed here and can be challenging, so watch your step and take care.

Llechog is a peak of Garnedd Ugain in the Snowdon massif. It is the top of a long ridge of cliffs that starts at Llanberis and ends at Garnedd Ugain. Nearby Clogwyn train station is a stop on the Snowdon Mountain Railway. The summit is rocky and juts out steeply from the cliffs sloping down to the Nant Peris valley. The vantage point is impressive! You can admire Glyder Fawr, Y Garn, Elidir Fawr and Crib Goch in all their glory.

On a cloudy day this is where we emerged from the clouds and see the amazing view we'd been missing out on!
