Hill Walking & Mountaineering
Hill Walking & Mountaineering in Snowdonia Introduction The craggy heights of Snowdonia are justly regarded as the finest mountain range south of the Scottish Highlands. There is a different appeal to Snowdonia than, within the picturesque hills of, say, Cumbria, where cosy woodland seems to nestle in every valley and each hillside seems neatly manicured. Snowdonia’s hillsides are often rock strewn with deep rugged cwms biting into the flank of virtually every mountainside, sometimes converging from two directions to form soaring ridges which lead to lofty peaks. The proximity of the sea ensures that a fine day affords wonderful views, equally divided between the ever- changing seas and the serried ranks of mountains fading away into the distance. Eryri is the correct Welsh version of the area the English call Snowdonia; Yr Wyddfa is similarly the correct name for the summit of Snowdon, although Snowdon is often used to demarcate the whole massif around the summit. The mountains of Snowdonia stretch nearly fifty miles from the northern heights of the Carneddau, looming darkly over Conwy Bay, to the southern fringes of the Cadair Idris massif, overlooking the tranquil estuary of the Afon Dyfi and Cardigan Bay. From the western end of the Nantlle Ridge to the eastern borders of the Aran range is around twenty- five miles. Within this area lie nine distinct mountain groups containing a wealth of mountain walking possibilities, while just outside the National Park, the Rivals sit astride the Lleyn Peninsula and the Berwyns roll upwards to the east of Bala. The traditional bases of Llanberis, Bethesda, Capel Curig, Betws y Coed and Beddgelert serve the northern hills and in the south Barmouth, Dinas Mawddwy, Dolgellau, Tywyn, Machynlleth and Bala provide good locations for accessing the mountains. -

PS Signpost Bryn Cader Faner
Bryn Cader Faner Ring cairn Signposts to Prehistory Location: Bryn Cader Faner (SH 647 354) lies to the east of the small hamlet of Talsarnau in the Ardudwy area of Gwynedd in NW Wales. Main period: Bronze Age. Access & ownership: The area is reached after a 4 km walk via a Public Right of Way footpath from the end of the minor road above Eisingrug at SH6290034247, or from a footpath up the hillside from the minor road between Talsarnau and LlynTecwyn. The terrain may be boggy. Stout boots, a good map, and a GPS unit are strongly recommended. Fig. 1. Bryn Cader Fader. By Talsarnau Times (own work) CC BY-SA 3.0 Bryn Cader Faner ring cairn lies on an isolated, rocky prominence at the end of an ancient trackway from the sea to the mountains that is lined by standing stones, ring cairns, round cairns, and hut circles. The monument is carefully placed in its dramatic setting to have maximum impact on travellers approaching from the south who are met by a striking silhouette (Fig. 2). Eighteen thin, jagged slate pillars, many with prominent quartz veins, jut outwards like a crown of thorns from a low cairn some 8.7 m in diameter. Originally there may have been around 30 pillars; those surviving are nearly all in the western arc. There are also traces of small set stones forming a kerb around the extreme edge of the mound. Aubrey Burl described the monument as ‘one of the wonders of prehistoric Wales’ (Burl 1976). A hole at the centre of the cairn was dug by treasure seekers in the 19th century; this may have been the site of a grave or ‘kistvaen’ described by the 17th century naturalist and botanist Edward Llwyd. -
