Y Lliwedd (West Peak)

Y Lliwedd is a mountain, connected to Snowdon in the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales.

Its summit lies 898 metres above sea level.

The eastern flanks are steep cliffs rising above Glaslyn and Llyn Llydaw. Y Lliwedd is the most conspicuous of the peaks for those who approach Snowdon via the Miners' and Pyg tracks. Few that summit Snowdon continue over to Y Lliwedd as the challenge of Wales' highest peak is enough, leaving Y Lliwedd quiet and peaceful even when queues are forming at the summit of Snowdon.
