About Yr Eifl
Yr Eifl is a group of three summits on the north coast of the Llyn Peninsula. The main summit reaches 561m (1841ft) and has 429m of prominence, which makes it a Marilyn. Mynydd Graig Goch, the nearest higher hill, is 13.7km to the east. The eastern summit carries Tre'r Ceiri, one of the best preserved Iron Age hillforts in Britain, and quarrymen have cut away much of the northern summit.
The standard route starts from the car park above Llithfaen on the road to Nant Gwrtheyrn. A track climbs to the bwlch between the summits, and from there a steep path climbs to the main top. Many walkers add a detour to Tre'r Ceiri.
The summit has a trig pillar and a large cairn with shelters. You look along the Llyn coast, across Caernarfon Bay to Anglesey, and inland to Snowdonia.
Yr Eifl is 561 m (1,840 ft) high with 429 m of prominence. It is in Anglesey and the Lleyn Peninsula, Wales. OS grid reference SH364447. It is the highest of the 19 summits Peakify lists in Anglesey and the Lleyn Peninsula. The nearest summits are Mynydd Carnguwch (2.1 km), Gyrn Ddu (4.1 km) and Carreglefain (5.5 km).
