Cnicht
The famed 'Matterhorn of Wales' rising gracefully above Croesor Valley.
Sweeping from the marshy coastal flats northeast of Porthmadog right up to the solitary, commanding peak of Moel Siabod (872m), The Moelwyns (Y Moelwynion) form one of central Eryri’s most varied and evocative mountain groups. Drawing their name from the noble peaks of Moelwyn Mawr ('Great White Hill') and Moelwyn Bach ('Little White Hill'), the range seamlessly blends rugged mountain terrain with a captivating industrial heritage of historic slate quarries, high reservoirs, and hidden tarns.
Guarding the southwestern flank stands the iconic spire of Cnicht (689m)—celebrated far and wide as the Matterhorn of Wales for its breathtaking, razor-sharp profile when viewed from Croesor Valley. From the craggy ridges of Craigysgafn to the remote, boggy plateaus around Ysgafell Wen and the towering quarry bluffs of Blaenau Ffestiniog, the Moelwyns offer a deeply atmospheric highland escape far off the beaten track.
