The eastern summit on The Rivals, Tre’r Ceiri (485m), is home to one of the most well-preserved and spectacular Iron Age hill forts in Britain.

Climbing
A number of different climbing areas can be accessed from Cwm Pennant. The Lleyn Peninsula lies to the west, the cliffs of Tremadog lie to the east and the central Snowdonia mountains lie to the north. When the rest of Snowdonia is rained in, there is a reasonable chance that if not basking in sunshine, Tremadog is at least dry!
Mountain Biking
Coed y Brenin is a 35 minute drive from the hostel and the Gwydyr Forest trails near Betws-y-Coed are 45 minutes away.www.mbwales.com/en/content/cms/Centres
