What is recorded here
Foel-Fras rises to approximately 600 metres and is part of the rugged terrain of the Eryri (Snowdonia) range in north Wales. It is composed primarily of volcanic and sedimentary rocks from the Ordovician period, typical of the region's complex geological history. The hill contributes to the landscape's significance for both recreational hiking and the study of ancient geological formations.
