Godor is a mountain top located in the beautiful Berwyn range in north east Wales. It's like a smaller peak that is part of the much larger Cadair Berwyn mountain.
Godor sits at the end of a ridge that stretches south from Cadair Berwyn's main summit. Along this ridge, you can also find other mountain tops called Tomle and Godor North Top.

Exploring Godor
Godor's summit, which is the very top of the mountain, is mostly covered in grass. You'll find a small pile of stones there, called a cairn. Cairns are often built by hikers to mark the summit or a path. The ridge leading to Godor can be quite boggy, meaning it can be wet and soft underfoot, so sturdy boots are a good idea for anyone exploring this area.
Where is Godor Located?
Godor is found in a part of Wales where two counties meet: Denbighshire and Powys. This area is known for its stunning natural beauty, with rolling hills and vast open spaces. Being in the Berwyn mountain range, Godor is part of a wild and peaceful landscape that's perfect for outdoor adventures.
The Berwyn Mountain Range
The Berwyn Mountains are a range of hills and mountains in northeastern Wales. They are less well-known than some other Welsh mountain ranges, like Snowdonia, but they offer amazing views and a sense of wilderness. The Berwyns are home to diverse wildlife and are a great place for hiking, exploring, and enjoying nature. Godor is just one of many interesting spots within this range.
What are Hewitts and Nuttalls?
In the world of mountain climbing, there are special lists for different types of peaks. Godor is listed as a "sub Hewitt" and a "Nuttall."
- A Hewitt is a hill in England, Wales, or Ireland that is at least 2,000 feet (610 meters) high and has a drop of at least 30 meters (98 feet) on all sides. Godor is a "sub Hewitt" because it's part of a larger Hewitt.
- A Nuttall is a mountain in England or Wales that is at least 2,000 feet (610 meters) high. So, Godor fits into this category too! These lists help hikers keep track of the many peaks they can explore.
