Climbing up the footpath towards Crag yr Allor and the Rhiwaedog-uwch-afon forest you get to a high point of 478m. This gives great views north across Llyn Tegid and west into Snowdonia.

Tip by

18.3 km

At 6km long and 0.8km wide Llyn Tegid is the largest natural lake in Wales. The glacial lake formed in the fault line between Bala and Tal-y-Llyn towards the end of the last ice age. The receding glacier left a recessional moraine which dammed the valley and created the lake.
Today it's a popular tourist and sport venue with lots of water sports and fishing on the lake and walking trails around it.
