Moel Penamnen is a mountain just north of Blaenau Ffestiniog, on the border between Caernarfonshire and Merionethshire. It forms part of the Moelwynion.

It may be climbed from the Crimea Pass via Moel Farwlyd — another peak on the county border to the west — or from Cwm Penamnen in Caernarfonshire. A circular of Cwm Penamnen can be done taking in Y Ro Wen. It may also be combined with its parent peak Manod Mawr, however the pass between these peaks is extremely boggy and there are many mines, air shafts and open quarries in the area.[1]
