A very fine mountain that is the high point of the Carneddau range. These mountains are high, remote and so much quieter than the Glyderau or Snowdon. Fabulous walking country.

Carnedd Llewelyn is high and relatively remote, so walks there are quite a serious undertaking.

As the previous person said, it is very very wet on the outward path from the bothy. If you do decide to go anyways, make sure to have a walking stick or similar to stabilise you and determine the depth of the water before sticking your foot in it.

The reservoir was originally built in 1924 to supply water for the hydro-electric power station in Dolgarrog, which in turn powered an aluminium smelting works. This power station is still operational today. Coedty Reservoir is historically significant due to its involvement in the devastating Dolgarrog Dam Disaster of 1925. The failure of the Llyn Eigiau dam, located upstream, led to a surge of water that also breached the Coedty dam. This resulted in a catastrophic flood that swept through the village of Dolgarrog, causing the loss of 16 lives. Coedty dam is a "balance tip" dam, meaning water flows from it automatically when it reaches high levels. This excess water flows into a spectacular gorge below, which is used by outdoor pursuit groups. However, gorge walking here can be dangerous due to the sudden releases of water.

If you go, ring the bell 3 times in memory

The sobering part was reading how they thought it was safe after hearing the church bells. They weren't, it was the church getting swept away!!!!

The worst part of any hike ever. I had to carry on going up, creating my own path, through trees, scrambling up mudfalls, rock climbing with no ropes. it's all collapsed.

majestic views

Magnificent and dizzying view! However, prefer to go around in the opposite direction to that indicated. The steep slope is very narrow and steep. Easier to go up than to go down.

The return leg on this walk is often very boggy...In wet weather I recommend returning on the outward route....

With a summit that’s just only twenty one metres lower than Y Wyddfa, a walk on to Carnedd Llewelyn is one that is well worth considering, especially if you prefer your summits free of the chaotic people like upon on Y Wyddfa does, but the Carneddau range is a very special place to experience It really is remarkable every where you look. I was shocked of how much of quieter beautiful mountain range that Wales’s second highest mountain actually is. The mountain is located in a vast wild area called The Carneddau. This is basically a largely untouched collection of mountains and valleys found in the north eastern part of the park. The Carnedd Llewelyn has a summit height of 1064m making Carnedd Llewelyn Wales’s Second Highest Mountain.

We did this Route clockwise I would suggest to try it anticlockwise

Carnedd Llewelyn, also spelled Carnedd Llywelyn, is a mountain massif in the Carneddau range in Snowdonia, north-west Wales. It is the highest point of the Carneddau and the second highest peak by relative height in Wales, 49th in the British Isles and lies on the border between Gwynedd and Conwy.

One of the best ranges to explore bit of a scramble but very enjoyable

One of the most best routes down to ogwen

Ffynnon Llugwy is a lake in the Carneddau range of mountains in Snowdonia, North Wales. It lies at a height of about 1,786 feet and covers an area of some 40 acres. It has a maximum depth of 146Ft

The Carneddau are a group of mountains in Snowdonia, Wales. They include the largest contiguous areas of high ground in Wales and England, as well as six or seven of the highest peaks in the country—the Fifteen Peaks!!

Remains of the Dolgarrog Dam Disaster Dolgarrog, Wales The worst flood disaster in Welsh history might have been a lot worse if it had not happened on movie night.  LLYN EIGIAU, A LAKE AT the edge of the Carneddau mountains in Snowdonia, Wales, was the origin of the worst dam disaster in Welsh history. The devastating flood of 1925 is commemorated by a plaque placed on the massive boulders that came to rest after destroying much of the village of Dolgarrog. In 1911, a dam three-quarters of a mile long and 35 feet high was built across part of the eastern side of the lake to supply water for the hydroelectric power station in the village and power the aluminum works next to the station. A new tramway was constructed to bring materials for the dam from Dolgarrog. It is reported that the original contractor withdrew from the project, unhappy that corners were being cut in the construction of the dam. And indeed, his misgivings were realized. In November, 1925, after 26 inches of rain fell in just five days, the Eigiau dam failed. The water flowed down to Coedty Reservoir, which rapidly caused its earth bank dam to burst as well and release billions of gallons of water. The torrent of water, estimated at over 70 billion gallons, flowed down into the village of  Dolgarrog, creating massive damage and leading to the loss of 16 lives. The death toll could have been worse, but it was fortunate that the breach occurred on the night when the local community hall was used as a cinema. The hall was on slightly higher ground, and many of the town residents were safe inside. The force of water carried some massive boulders (some as heavy as 200 tonnes) down to into the village, which was destroyed by the flood. Gwilym Wyn Roberts, whose mother survived the flood, told the BBC that “Cows were seen hanging from the trees and the aluminum works were submerged under 5 feet of mud.” These boulders are now marked with a memorial plaque, and the village has been rebuilt away from the devastated area. The remains of the dam are easily accessible on foot from a parking lot about half a mile away from the breached dam wall. A close look at the remains of the Eigiau dam today reveals that the foundations were insufficient, and close observation reveals large lumps of unmixed concrete. The dam material that can be seen through existing holes tends to break away easily and is clearly badly graded. After the disaster, an additional breach was created in the dam to ensure that water could not build up to dangerous levels. A Parliamentary investigation led to more stringent rules on British dam construction, as part of the Reservoirs (Safety Provisions) Act in 1930. Today the lake covers an area of about 120 acres (about half the impounded area when the dam was in use) and is only about 32 foot deep. This memorial commemorates the victims of the dam disaster in Dolgarrog on the dark and stormy night of 2 November 1925.

At 3,490 feet (1,064 m) this is the highest point in the Carneddau range and the second-highest prominent peak in Wales. It's a vast, rocky plateau at the top of a steep climb but great running once you get there. It's also part of the Welsh 3000s challenge route.
