The Carneddau (lit. "the cairns"; Carneddau is a Welsh plural form, and is sometimes anglicised to Carnedds) are a group of mountains in Snowdonia, Wales. They include the largest contiguous areas of high ground (over 2,500 or 3,000 feet (910 m) high) in Wales and England, 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 area covers nearly 200 square kilometres, about 10% of the area of Snowdonia.
Another day in the Carneddau before heading back to london that afternoon. The aim of the day was quick and efficient navigating focussing on the journey, taking advantage of the clear weather and going in search of the views that we had missed on the first two days. From Gwern Gof Isaf, we headed up Pen Yr Helgi Du and along the Bwlch Eryi Farchog ridge towards Carnedd Llewelyn and back down via Ffynnon Llugwy Resevoir to the car.
