*************

Craig yr Aderyn, (English: Bird's Rock), is a hill rising to a height of over 250m above sea level on the south bank of the River Dysynni near Llanfihangel-y-pennant in the county of Gwynedd, north-west Wales.^[1] It is named after the large number of birds such as the Great Cormorant which nest on the peak, which is two miles (3.2 km) from the sea.

The ruins of Castell y Bere, built by the Princes of Gwynedd in the 13th century, are nearby. According to local traditional, there were two castle watch-towers on the end of the rock and watchmen would raise red flags in case of danger. There are two prominent faces known locally as 'Y Palis Mawr' and 'Y Palis Bach' (the large stockade and the small stockade)
