The northeastern high point on the Cadair Idris massif, Mynydd Moel sees a fraction of the footfall of the main Penygadair summit. However, it's a wonderful place to gaze out across the Harlech Dome towards the Rhinogs and the famous peaks of northern Snowdonia.

A much quieter peak than Cadair Idris, but the views are just as good. This should be added to any of the routes going up to Cadair.

Stunning summit with great views. Steep and loose under fun on the Minffordd path, but rewarded with amazing views!
