Rhobell Fawr is the site of an ancient volcano that was active during the Early Ordovician period[1][2] in the Arenig range within the Snowdonia National Park.
Despite its modest height of 734 m (2,408 feet), it is a mountain with views of higher peaks all around, including the north face of Cadair Idris and distant Snowdon.
The paths are not well trodden, but there is a distinct path up from Bwlch Goriwared, a couple of miles north-north-east of the small village of Llanfachreth.
