Heartbreak Hill earns its name. The ascent is long and demanding, but the reward is a panoramic view spanning both the Bala and Dolgellau valley systems — giving a real chance of seeing aircraft traffic in more than one direction on the same visit.
This is a location suited to experienced hill walkers with proper kit. Carry OS Landranger 124, appropriate clothing for all weather, food, water, and full navigation equipment.
