Capel Curig, Conwy, Wales

St Julitta's Church

The Devil's Kitchen

Y Garn is a mountain in Snowdonia, part of the Glyderau. The southwesterly side of the mountain slopes down to the Nant Peris valley. The northeasterly side is of a different character, consisting of two steeply sided cwms, Cwm Clyd and Cwm Cywion, and finally Llyn Idwal and Ogwen Cottage. Along the ridge to the north lies Elidir Fawr, while to the southeast is the top of the Devil's Kitchen and Glyder Fawr. Underwood states that according to tradition, the Devil will attempt to lure you into his “kitchen”.
