At 610m Tal y Fan is the northern most outlier of the Carneddau mountains. The trig point on top gives wonderful views into Snowdonia National Park or north and out to sea. It's a great little mountain, off the beaten track and with a wild feeling.

I bet there is a nice view from here on a nice day but alas for us today it was not to be! Pity as it looks a great spot with its stone built trig point.

What a great view towards the coast and over to Anglesey and inland the the higher peaks in the Carneddau. The most northerly hill over 2000ft. Great summit!
