About Lliwedd Bach
Lliwedd Bach is one of the tops of Y Lliwedd, in Eryri. It is the final top along Y Lliwedd's main ridge, the other being Y Lliwedd East Peak.
Beyond it a broad ridge at around 580 m runs north to the subsidiary summit of Gallt y Wenallt. The top is unmarked, and looks out on the cliffs of Y Lliwedd itself, on Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) and on Crib Goch.

Which hill this one belongs to
Lliwedd Bach is not counted as an independent hill in its own right. In prominence terms it belongs to Y Lliwedd (898 m) — the nearest Marilyn you can reach from this summit without first dropping below its key col, 799 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.
