Cadair Idris Cadair Idris is a long mountain in Merionethshire, celebrated in folklore. It stands amongst the Cambrian Mountains, at the southern end of the Snowdonia National Park. The mountain is one of the most popular of the challenging mountains in Wales for walkers and hikers and its shape and beauty are richly evocative of the wild landscape over which it presides. Cadair Idris is not a single peaked mountain but a long fell with several tops along its ridge and geologically blessed with cwms, moraines, striated rocks, and roches moutonnées; a fine variety on which to feast the eyes and the feet even out of the scientific approach.
