AreaThe Rhinogs
Often regarded as the true 'king of the Rhinogydd' for its spectacular rocky peak, Rhinog Fach (711.6 m) is technically a subsidiary of Y Llethr, though a Marilyn in its own right. To the north, the pass of Bwlch Drws Ardudwy separates it from Rhinog Fawr. A cairn marks the summit, and Y Llethr is 1.3 km away.
