グウィネズ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

A wonderful spiky summit with fine views to Yr Wyddfa and into Ogwen Valley. The summit itself is a scramble over very large jumbled boulders.

Y Garn is a fine hill, usually climbed from Ogwen Valley by it's West ridge, or as part of the walk along the Glyders range between Elidir Fawr and the Glyders themselves. There is however another way up, the East Ridge, which is a Grade 2 scramble and starts from Llyn Idwal.

Poor Elidir Fawr! It has been bashed about and big lumps knocked out of it at Dinorwic Quarry, it has had a power station built inside it, and has a reservoir for that reservoir almost at the very top. Fortunately when you climb it from Nant Peris you will only see the reservoir, the rest of the damage is ot of sight.

A high mountain with reasonable length walk-ins. Good scrambling route on it's north side that gives fine views of the 'Balck Ladders' cliff face.

Carnedd Llewelyn is high and relatively remote, so walks there are quite a serious undertaking.

Magnificent peak that forms part of the Snowdon Horseshoe. Huge north west facing cliffs and an airy double summit.

Rainbows on mountains tend to be a mixed blessing as they are a pretty sure sign that you are about to get wet! However from the photographers point of view they can also signal some great light, with sun mixed in with dark moody clouds. This was the view from near the summit of Cnicht - otherwise sometimes called the Welsh Matterhorn due to its pointy appearance from the village of Croesor. To the right of the picture is Moel Hebog which rises steeply above the pictuesque village of Beddgelert.

A fine rocky and in places narrow ridge, and you will often have it all to yourself!
