On a ridge running south from Snowdon, Yr Aran rises to 747.2 m, with views of Snowdon's summit, Moel Hebog and the Nantlle Ridge. No paths are marked on maps, but it can be climbed as a detour from the Rhyd Ddu path or the Watkin Path. The highest rock is beside the cairn, and Y Lliwedd is 2.6 km away.
