The Rivals, or Yr Eifl, rise steeply from the north coast of the Lleyn Peninsula and provide a superb objective for this walk. Although the route can be rough underfoot, these hills have a long history with extensive iron age ruins. In addition their isolated position mean that the views are extensive.
