At 782 metres, Moel Hebog dominates the western skyline above Beddgelert. To its north is in broad ridge with two lesser summits, Moel yr Ogof (655m) and Moel Lefn (638m). Today’s walk from Rhyd Ddu to Beddgelert heads up through forestry, continuing up to the ridge to take in all three tops. Weather permitting, we’ll enjoy spectacular mountain views throughout. After the final pull up to the summit of Moel Hebog, we make a steep descent into Beddgelert, crossing the Welsh Highland Railway and passing Cloch Isaf farm. Expect a mix of surfaced paths, rough tracks and grassy paths, with some rockier sections and the odd bit of scree.
(There are alternative options for latter part of the walk, omitting Moel Hebog and making an easier descent, depending on conditions on the day.)
