AreaThe Moelwyns
Just north of Blaenau Ffestiniog, Moel Penamnen reaches 628.3 m in the Moelwynion; the highest ground has no feature and lies 6 m north of an old trig point base. It can be climbed from the Crimea Pass via Moel Barlwyd, from Blaenau Ffestiniog or from Cwm Penamnen. Combining it with its parent peak Manod Mawr means crossing an extremely boggy pass, in an area with many mines, air shafts and open quarries.
