From the Wikipedia article

Mynydd Nodol is a 539m high hill in Snowdonia National Park and lying within the community of Llanycil in the county of Gwynedd in North Wales. It rises above the southern shores of the reservoir Llyn Celyn about 4 km northeast of its higher neighbour Arenig Fawr. Mynydd Nodol forms the backdrop in views from the A4212 car park by the dam. The hill throws down a broad shoulder to the east.

Background

Visiting

Almost the entire hill is mapped as open country under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 thereby giving members of the public the right to walk across it more or less freely. An unfenced minor public road running northwest from Bala fringes the southwestern edge of the hill.
