Stac Rhos is a top of Pen y Boncyn Trefeilw in north east Wales. It forms a part of the Berwyn range called the Hirnantau. The views from the summit are extensive, if unremarkable due to the featureless, flat moorland surroundings.

Foel Cedig

Peak

Foel Cedig is a Marilyn on the Gwynedd/ Powys border in north Wales. In 2018 it replaced Cyrniau Nod as the Marilyn for this area. It is located a very short distance from Cyrniau Nod. This has led to peak baggers having to recomplete.
