The rocks occur across the Snowdon massif and the Carneddau and within the Capel Curig Anticline.
The Group comprises around 1400m thickness of ash flow tuffs, flow-banded rhyolites and breccias with a variety of volcaniclastic sediments erupted or sedimented during the Caradocian epoch of the Ordovician period. The Group comprises (in descending order, i.e. oldest last):
It also includes the Foel Grach Basalt Formation and the Braich Tu Du Volcanic Formation.
