Y Llethr is the highest mountain in the Rhinogydd of Snowdonia, north Wales. The summit consists of a flat grassy top marked only by a small cairn. The summit is more in keeping with its southern flanks than its rugged northern approach.
The shortest route to the summit goes from Cwm Nantcol in the west, either directly or via Bwlch Drws Ardudwy and over Rhinog Fach. To the south lies Diffwys, to the south east lies Y Garn (Rhinogydd), to the north lies Rhinog Fach and to the west lies Moelfre.[1][2][3]
