Mynydd Llandegai’s ground is situated nearly 800 feet above sea level in this small village which was established in the 19th century to provide cottages for the quarrymen of the nearby Penrhyn Quarry.

The ground is basic, but the local community do a great job of keeping the pitch as well as they possibly can in an area that receives significant rainfall.

There is no hard standing at the ground, but the village’s Memorial Hall provides changing rooms for the teams, and a snack shop for the supporters.

Supporters from both teams tend to congregate on the side of the Memorial Hall, with the home supporters tending to elevate themselves using a grass bank on one side of it.

Being this high above sea level, and at the foot of two of Snowdonia’s mountain ranges (the Carneddau and Glyderau), the views from the ground of the surrounding mountains are pretty spectacular if the visibility is good.
