Yr Eifl, sometimes called the Rivals in English,[1][2][3] is a group of hills on the north coast of the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd, Wales.

On a clear day, the views from the highest summit reach as far as the Isle of Man, the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland and the Lake District, as well as the entire sweep of Cardigan Bay.

The view of Yr Eifl is especially prominent from the SW coast of Anglesey, for instance from Ynys Llanddwyn.

Ordnance Survey maps show a height of 564 metres (1850'), but a recent survey gives the height at 561 metres (1,841 feet).[4]
