Cader Idris Mountain Walk
|
Cader Idris is one of the most spectacular mountains in Wales. Our walk stays largely off the beaten track, starting steeply through woodland, then using a lesser-known route to the summit of the mountain. Around the lip of Cwm Cau, then a little-used grassy descent, and down to Tal-y-llyn. Easy lakeside track to finish.
