View north from Tarren y Gesail This is the right square; you can just see the fence on the right which is shown as on the square boundary on the 1:25000 map! Cadair Idris lies on the horizon; the long ridge intervening is Mynydd Cedris. Tarren y Gesail is a good viewpoint, and you can often have it to yourself.
