Mark, the nearest higher mountains are approximately 20 miles to the NNW in Snowdonia. Snowdon tops these at 3,560 ft and is probably the closest significant summit to the Arans.
The answer to what is the highest mountain outside the Yr Wydfa Group is Aran Fawddwy 2nd highest and Cadair Idris is 3rd highest. Im not sure off the top of my head what is highest outside of the Snowdonia National Park,Plymlymon near to where i live is the highest in the Cambrians of Mid Wales at 755m,ill have to research more.Hope this answers your question.
Sorry to reply so late but just noticed your near fatal mistake of calling our beautiful country England,but well corrected!!! You can take the boy out of Wales but you cant take Wales out of the boy!!

Untitled CommentNice edition, Phillip. The Arans and environs are quite picturesque. Some of the best open land in England.
Edit: oops, open land in UK.
