Mynydd
Rhiw
(305m)
Overlooking the four mile wide Porth Neigwl (Hell’s Mouth), Mynydd
Rhiw is only 305 metres high but feels much taller. The “mynydd”
(mynydd means mountain, even though none of the hills on Llŷn are
technically tall enough to be mountains!) is known for the radio mast
situated on the top, and because access to this is necessary, it is
possible to drive to the top. This being said it’s advisory to stop
and park at the end of the tarmac road and save your car the battering
of following the track to the top!
Y Rhiw is situated west of the summit, and is still high enough to
enjoy the fantastic views across to Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island). Rhiw
means hill in itself (so technically Mynydd Rhiw means hill
mountain!!). Further west still, the “mynydd” rolls out to the smaller
peak of Pen-ar-Fynydd, where it takes a nose-dive into the Irish Sea,
hundreds of feet below.
