Plas-y-Nant is pleased to provide you with information about the peaks
in the northern part of the Moelwyns range of mountains - about 20-25
minutes from Plas-y-Nant. You can also click ......
Overlooking the village of
Capel Curig, this mountain provides fine views of the Snowdon Horseshoe
on a clear day. Used locally as an indicator of the weather - if you
can see the top then Snowdon and the Glyders are probably also clear
!
