is a hill within the Snowdonia National Park in Gwynedd, North Wales.
Location
Moel Emoel is a member of the Arenig range with Arenig Fawr lying approximately 7 mi to the west. Llyn Celyn can easily be seen between Arenig Fach and Mynydd Nodol. Its parent peak, Foel Goch is 2 mi northeast, and to the east, the broad ridge of the Berwyn range with Cadair Berwyn lying 10 mi away. On a clear day the view southwest towards the nearby town of Bala, 3 mi away is spectacular. Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake), Aran Benllyn and the distant Cadair Idris form a fine vista. The furthest peak visible is Tarrenhendre, 28 mi away near Abergynolwyn.
Ascent
The main route to the summit begins just outside of Bala and takes approximately 3.4 to 4 hours for a round trip. The summit is marked by stone cairn.
