Moel yr Ogof is a subsidiary summit of Moel Hebog and a sister peak to the lower Moel Lefn, all in Caernarfonshire and to the west of main Snowdonia massifs.
The name of the summit means “Hill of the Cave”.
There is an asbestos trial mine located on the summit. A small seam of white asbestos was discovered however insufficient amounts to commercially mine.
Owain Glyndŵr's cave can be found on the cliff at the western flank of the mountain. The Beddgelert Forest lies directly to the north east, while Cwm Pennant lies to the west. Good views of the Nantlle Ridge to the north are observed.[1]
