Foel Boeth is the twin top of Gallt y Daren in the southern half of the Snowdonia National Park in Gwynedd, North Wales, and forms part of the Arenig mountain range. Its parent peak is Moel Llyfnant.

The peak is often known as Foel Boeth, however the Nuttall list includes both the twin tops resulting in the higher top being called Gallt y Daren and the lower top called Foel Boeth.

The summit is grassy and is marked by a small pile of stones. [1]

Fan Brycheiniog is the highest peak at a height of 802.5 metres (2,633 ft) in the Black Mountain region of the Brecon Beacons National Park in southern Wales. There is a trig point at the peak and on the edge of the escarpment, and nearby, a stone shelter with an inner seat. It lies just inside the historic county of Brecknockshire which gives the mountain its Welsh name. A subsidiary top, less than a kilometre from the summit along the ridge to the northwest, is the highest point of the neighbouring county of Carmarthenshire. Fan Brycheiniog is also within the Fforest Fawr Geopark designated in 2005 in recognition of the area's geological heritage. The views of the moorland and open country to the north are spectacular when the weather is clear, and reveals the isolation of the range, especially when compared with the more popular Pen y Fan range to the east.
