4 Cadair Idris Southern Snowdonia WALES

Start/Finish

1 Car park at Llanfihangel-y-pennant GR: SH672088

(Before setting off on the walk, the little church is worth a look. It houses an exhibition about Mary Jones – a local girl who, in 1800, at the age of 15, walked barefoot from Llanfihangel-y-pennant to Bala (about 25 miles) to procure a copy of the Welsh Bible. This act led to the formation of the British and Foreign Bible Society. Inside the church, too, is an interesting three-dimensional cloth map of the Dysynni Valley.)

Head N along road and cross Afon Cadair. Just over bridge
