Cadair Idris

This is a spectacular loop to ascend Cadair Idris in Eryri National Park (Snowdonia). This route primarily follows the Minffordd Path, offering scenic views and diverse landscapes. The trail is challenging beginning at the Dôl Idris car park, with an ascent through tranquil woodlands alongside the cascading Nant Cadair stream. The trail becomes steeper along the left side of Llyn Cau. The path, well-marked with rock cairns, leads to the dramatic horseshoe of cliffs and crags known as Craig Cau. At the top the panoramic views are splendid and well-worth the hike.
