| Cader Idris is one of the best walks in Wales. Its rocky ridges and steep cliffs stand out amongst the more gentle hills in this part of Wales. Most walkers use the path up from Minffordd, but this route takes the quieter path from Dolgellau. It can be done in a long day from here, but the best way to enjoy this mountain is over two days, camping at Ty-nant or, even better, Llyn y Gadair. This puts you right in place for an early ascent and, with any luck, you'll have the summit to yourself! | ||
