Moel Hebog

Moel Hebog (Welsh for Bare Hill of the Hawk) is a mountain in Snowdonia, north Wales which dominates the view west from the village of Beddgelert.

It gives name to a whole range of peaks in the north-western corner of Snowdonia, which include the Nantlle Ridge and Mynydd Mawr.

Much of the mountain consists of welded, fiamme rich rhyolitic tuff.

[1][2][3] The view of Moel Hebog and Llyn Gwynant from the north near Snowdon is one of the most photographed in Snowdonia.

[citation needed] A late Bronze Age shield was found in a bog near Moel Hebog in 1784.
