'''Foel-fras''' (944 m / 3,097 ft) is a [[mountain]] in the [[Carneddau]] range, about 10 km east of [[Bethesda, Gwynedd|Bethesda]] in [[North Wales]]. It lies on the border between the counties of [[Gwynedd]] and [[Conwy County Borough|Conwy]]. With a summit elevation of 944 mmetres (3,074 feet), it is officially the eleventh-highest summit in [[Wales]].
Foel-fras is located at the northern end of the main ridge of the Carneddau, between [[Drum (Wales)|Drum]] to the north and [[Foel Grach]] to the south, with the subsidiary summit of [[Garnedd Uchaf]] (925 m / 3,034 ft) between it and Foel Grach. Due south and 400 m below lies the reservoir of [[Llyn Dulyn]], while the smaller [[reservoir]] of [[Llyn Anafon]] lies to the north.
 
Because of its position, it is the first of the [[Welsh 3000s]] reached when doing this walk from the northern end. It can be climbed by driving up the small road signposted "[[Aber Falls]]" in the village of [[Abergwyngregyn]], passing the [[car park]] for the falls and continuing to a small car park at the end of the road. From there it is possible to take the track bearing left, later turning right to the summit of [[Drum (Wales)|Drum]] and continuing along the ridge, or to take the track leading straight on to Llyn Anafon and then climbing up to the ridge between Drum and Foel Fras.
