Foel Gron is a minor summit on the ridge down between Moel Eilio and Foel Goch. It rewards with fine views down Cwm Dwythwch towards Llanberis, as well as south over Llyn Cwellyn towards the beguiling Nantlle Ridge.

Moel Cynghorion

Highlight • Summit

A fantastic and little-walked hill due to how steep it is, I imagine. Moel Cynghorion is a great addition when walking down the Ranger Path for some additional views without the chaos of Snowdon's summit.
