AreaThe Glyders
Grassy, with a few small rock outcrops and a small cairn, the 805 m top of Y Foel Goch sits on the ridge between Glyder Fach and Gallt yr Ogof, which is 0.8 km to the east. Llyn Caseg-fraith, between it and Glyder Fach, is a popular spot for photographing Tryfan reflected in the water. Views from the summit are limited to the bulky neighbours of Moel Siabod, Tryfan and Glyder Fach.
