Centre point{{Main|Centre points of the United Kingdom}}The centre point of Wales is dependent on whether only the mainland is used for calculation or outlying islands as well. One centre point is calculated to be near Cwmystwyth, Devil's Bridge, Ceredigion ({{coord|52|19|48.791|N|3|45|59.072|W|region:GB_type:landmark|name=Centre of Wales}}; {{gbmapping|SN7972871704}})[1] Elevation extremes{{main|List of mountains in Wales}}- Wales: Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) in Snowdonia (Eryri) - 1,085 m (3,560 ft)
Many points are on, or near sea level, but due to high rainfall, there are no natural dry pieces of land below sea level - see rivers and lakes below. Rivers and lakes{{See also|List of rivers of Wales}}The largest natural lake in Wales is Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake). Llangorse Lake is second largest. This is a table of the longest rivers in Wales.[2] Rivers only partly in Wales are included in this table in italics. | River | Length
