Rugged Rhinog Fawr

An ascent to the top of rocky Rhinog Fawr, the third highest peak of the rugged Rhinogydd mountains, is featured on this circular walk. The area offers some of the finest hill-walking in Wales with the promise of views across Cardigan Bay, the Llyn Peninsula, most of the high mountains of Eryri (SnowdoniaI) as well as the surrounding Rhinogydd peaks and lakes. There is some minor scrambling and a short crawl through a wall before reaching a plateau with a fine boulder crossing to the summit with its trig point and small stone shelter. The descent passes Pistyll Gwyn (White Waterfall). Note that the parking area is 2.5 miles along to the end of a lane to Graidddu-isaf, reached from the main A470 road at a small junction which is at Grid Reference SH71343 30656, What3 Words reshaping.revealing.lonely
