Moel Ddu

In our continuing quest to visit rarely-visited peaks in Snowdonia, today we climbed Moel Ddu (553 metres) from the car park at Nantmor, climbing through the lovely Aberglaslyn woods before striking out across open country (largely pathless) to reach the summit. Whilst not a particularly high peak, it provides one of the best all-round panoramas in North Wales with views of multiple ranges (Snowdon, Moelwyns, Rhinogs etc.) as well as great views of the Llyn Peninsula and down to Cardigan Bay. A very special mountain day - one of the best we have ever experienced.
