Map of Foel Grach, Bangor, UK
It is located on a broad ridge extending northwards from Carnedd Llewelyn to Garnedd Uchaf and Foel-fras. An emergency refuge has been built beneath the summit. Compared to the surrounding mountains much deeper snow takes place due to its rather broad summit and high grassy slopes. On clear days the Isle of Man and even the Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland can be seen Northwards from the summit.
