'''Gorllwyn''' is a subsidiary summit of [Drygarn Fawr](/source/Drygarn_Fawr), located on a remote [moorland](/source/moorland) [plateau](/source/plateau) of the [Cambrian Mountains](/source/Cambrian_Mountains). The summit is grassy and is surrounded by peat bog. There is a shelter cairn and a trig point.
