Hiking
Tarren Hendre's grassy summit is the southernmost 2,000-foot (610 m) peak in Snowdonia. This position gives it unique views into mid Wales towards Plylimon and north towards the great mass of Cadair Idris. It's also the first summit visited on the Snowdonia Way Mountain Route.

Running
Tarrenhendre at 633m is one of the tops in the Cadair Idris mountain group. It's a big grassy summit with a steeper top and a cairn. It's a good run partly due to its loneliness, you probably won't see anyone and you can have a proper wild adventure!

Hiking
The walk to bag the 633m summit of Tarrenhendre is not as popular or busy as those on its more famous neighbour on Cadair Idris, but you do get a nice, lovely, scenic and historic walk out of it. There are nice views to be had from the summit too. If you want to add another hill to your tally, then you can easily extend your walk to take in nearby Tarren y Gesail.
