'''Y Llethr''' is the highest [[mountain]] in the [[Rhinogydd|Rhinogydd range]] of [[Snowdonia]], in north [[Wales]]. The summit consists of a flat grassy top marked only by a small [[cairn]]. The [[Summit (topography)|summit]] is more in keeping with its southern flanks than its rugged northern approach.

The shortest route to the summit goes from the valley of [[Cwm Nantcol]] in the west, either directly or via '''Bwlch Drws Ardudwy''' and over the mountain of [[Rhinog Fach]]. To the south lies  the mountain of [[Diffwys]], to the south-east lies the mountain of [[Y Garn (Rhinogydd)|Y Garn]], to the north lies Rhinog Fach and to the west lies the hill of [[Moelfre (hill)|Moelfre]].<ref>Marsh, Terry.
