Diffwys Summit
Hiking
5.0
(12)
Diffwys’ north side is craggy with jagged cwms and steep trails. The south is an easier direction to ascend from, but it’s certainly not boring. If you come via Rhinog Fach to the north, you can enjoy a fantastic ridgewalk between the two, and include the flat-topped Y Llethr. The north, west and south all feature good starting points for ascents on Diffwys.
A stone wall traverses the ridge between Rhinog Fach, Y Llethr and Diffwys, which can be useful to follow in places but care should still be taken in poor visibility as there are steep drops.
