Foel Grach is a mountain in the Carneddau range in Snowdonia, Wales, and included in the Welsh 3000s. It is located on a broad ridge extending northwards from Carnedd Llewelyn to Garnedd Uchaf and Foel-fras. It is an unremarkable summit and "no one is likely to make Foel Grach the sole objective of a day's excursion" [1]. An emergency refuge has been built beneath the summit.
