View from Moel-y-Gest

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful 360 views well worth the 30 min walk/scramble to the top.

Tip by

1.92 km

Moel-y-Gest is a great little hill with super good views towards the Snowdonia range and down the length of the Llŷn Peninsula. It has a nice nice rocky top and a very imposing, well kept stone trig pointed summit.
