Aran Fawddwy is a mountain in southern Snowdonia, north Wales. It is the highest British mountain south of Snowdon, but despite its height is comparatively unpopular, due to its remote location. It is the principal summit of the predominant southwest-northeast ridge between Dolgellau and Bala, southern Snowdonia, a ridge that continues westwards as Cadair Idris. The nearest towns or villages to Aran Fawddwy are Dinas Mawddwy to the south, Llanymawddwy to the southeast, Llanuwchllyn on the shores of Bala Lake to the north, and Rhydymain to the west. On the eastern slopes of Aran Fawddwy is the small lake named Craiglyn Dyfi, the source of the River Dyfi.
