About Craig y Merched (Rhinogydd)

A collective name for a scattering of gritstone buttresses at the head of Cwm Mynach in the southern Rhinogydd. BMC Cymru has recently improved the waymarked approach path from the forestry to Rhino's Buttress; the older parking near Blaen Cwm Mynach is no longer permitted.
