The summit of Moel Morfydd sits at 549-metres above the town of Llangollen, in the Clwydian range. The summit provides some excellent, uninterrupted views of the surrounding area.

Best ridden (well, hiked up to) from East to West, where the ridiculous climb rewards you with some spectacular views and good descents.
