CARNEDDAU
The 'Carneddau' (lit. "the cairns"; ''Carneddau'' is a Welsh plural form, and can also be written as ''Carnedds''), are a group of mountains in Snowdonia, Wales. It includes the largest contiguous areas of high ground (over 2,500 or 3,000 feet high) in Wales, as well as six or seven of the highest peaks in the country—the Fourteen Peaks. The range also encloses a number of lakes such as Llyn Cowlyd and Llyn Eigiau, and the Aber Falls waterfalls. It is delimited by the Irish Sea to the north, the Conwy valley to the east, and by the A5 road from Betws-y-Coed to Bethesda to the south and west.
The peaks in the central Carnedd ridge are:
★ Pen yr Ole Wen (978 m)
★ Carnedd Dafydd (1044 m)
★ Carnedd Llewelyn (1064 m)
★ Yr Elen (962 m)
★ Foel Grach (976 m)
★ Garnedd Uchaf (926 m)
★ Foel-fras (942 m)
