 Gyrn
Ddu
(522m)
One of Llŷn’s few hills that stands
over 500 metres tall, located on the north coast between Llanaelhaearn
and Clynnog Fawr. The north-western slopes steeply descend to the
beach below.
Views from the summit extend across
much of the southern and eastern parts of the peninsula, and next door
neighbour Yr Eifl looks impressive from here. As with most of Llŷn's
hills, Ireland can be seen on a clear day to the west, whilst Anglesey
lies to the north and Cardigan Bay stretches around to Pembrokeshire
to the south.
Attempts to walk to the top are best
started from the south, as you avoid the steeper north slopes. Gyrn
Goch, Gyrn Ddu’s sister peak, is slightly smaller and sits in between
Gyrn Ddu and Bwlch Mawr, to the north-east of the main summit.
