Bwlch y Groes is the highest public road mountain pass in Wales. It lies on the minor road linking Dinas Mawddwy and Llanuwchllyn. It has been known as the Hellfire pass and was used between and after the wars especially by the Austin and Standard Triumph Motor Company's to test prototype cars.

The view from the pass encompasses the plain of the Dovey valley, Cadair Idris and a close view of Aran Fawddwy.
