Rhinog Fach Summit

Recommended for

Hiking

by 20 explorers

Amongst the rugged gems of the untamed Rhinogydd of Snowdonia, Rhinog Fach is perhaps the one that shines brightest. Hikes to Rhinog Fach take you to a fine rocky peak overlooking the rough, complex, llyn-studded terrain synonymous with the region. It boasts huge views to the Irish Sea, the Llyn Peninsula and back inland to the giants of Snowdon and Cadair Idris, north and south respectively.

This Highlight is in a protected area

    Tips

    Hiking

    North Wales’ Rhinog mountains are the antidote to Snowdonia’s tourist-crowded honeypots. Wild, rough, and occasionally challenging underfoot, the rewards for putting in the effort come in the form of rugged mountain-scape scenery, a deluge of flora and fauna wildlife, and summit views from both Rhinog Fach and Rhinog Fawr that seem to swallow up the whole of the Welsh west coast. And best of all, it’s entirely possible to get it all to yourself.

    Hiking

    It is a steep climb to get here from either the north or south, but easier than Rhinog Fawr from the west. Great views, and the cliffs of the west side side are a playground for rockclimbers.
