The Foel Goch group

4 other listed summits sit in the same prominence group, with Foel Goch as the independent hill at its head.

Moel Emoel549 m88 m
Pen y Bwlch Gwyn502 m33 m

Grouping is by prominence alone: a summit belongs to the nearest higher Marilyn it connects to without a deeper intervening col. Over a large massif that can gather hills no one would walk in a single day, and which few would describe as parts of the same mountain — it is a measure of independence, not a suggested route.
