  Moel Emoel (English: Bare Hill of Emoel) is a hill within the Snowdonia National Park in Gwynedd, North Wales.
  
  ## Location
  
  Moel Emoel is a member of the Arenig range with Arenig Fawr lying approximately 7 miles (11 km) to the west. Llyn Celyn can easily be seen between Arenig Fach and Mynydd Nodol. Its parent peak, Foel Goch is 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast, and to the east, the broad ridge of the Berwyn range with Cadair Berwyn lying 10 miles (16 km) away. On a clear day the view southwest towards the nearby town of Bala, 3 miles (4.8 km) away is spectacular. Bala Lake, Aran Benllyn and the distant Cadair Idris form a fine vista. The furthest peak visible is Tarrenhendre, 28 miles (45 km) away near Abergynolwyn.
  
  ## Ascent
  
  The main route to the summit begins just outside of Bala and takes approximately 3.4 to 4 hours for a round trip. The summit is marked by stone cairn.
