カンブリア山地の天然記念物・トップ20

伝説によると、カデルはイドリス・ガウルという巨人の名前から名付けられたと言われています。「カダイール・イドリス」は英語で「イドリスの椅子」を意味しますが、「カデル」は古代の要塞を指すこともあります。この場所はカダイールではなくカデル・イドリスとして知られていますが、両方の名前が使用されています。この地域で最も有名な伝説は、山で一晩過ごすと、狂ってしまうか詩人になるというものです。 (Visit Wales)

労力に見合う価値があります。頂上からは、あらゆる方向の素晴らしい景色を楽しめます。写真では捉えきれません。

Lovely views but tricky summit to find boulders everywhere you need to climb up to the summit if wet would be unsafe cantilever stone looks amazing only problem with glyders is very bad on the foot but really enjoyed it I did tryfan north face then down the south side up the loose scree that was some climb and half top of glyders then Down one hell of a loose scree up y garn then down devils kitchen I wouldn't advise going down that if you are not good on your feet it's hell I've done it both ways going up is so much easier going down devils kitchen is really bad

Expect tricky terrain. It's very rocky and uneven with hidden holes.

The Castle of the Winds is a true highlight on this or any other mountain. Spectacular and spiky it makes for a great scramble over the top!

Easy accent if climbing from the side of the national trust carpark. For a more challenging climb, accend from the opposite side.

The name "Snowdon" is first recorded in 1095 as Snawdune, and is derived from the Old English elements snaw and dun, meaning "hill of snow". The Welsh name for the mountain, Yr Wyddfa, is first recorded in Latin as Weddua vaur in 1284. This is probably an approximation of Pen y Wyddfa Fawr. The element gwyddfa in this context means "height, promontory", and also occurs in the Welsh name for the town of Mold, Yr Wyddgrug. Gwyddfa later developed the meaning "gravestone heap", and there is a legend that the giant Rhita is buried beneath the cairn on the summit of the mountain. According to one legend, the giant Rhita was slain and buried on the mountain by King Arthur, while another legend suggests that Rhita was killed by the giant Idris who lived on the mountain Cadair Idris. The mountain is also associated with other figures from Arthurian legend, a legendary Afanc (water monster) and the Tylwyth Teg (fairies). (Wikipedia)

Like all hills the weather can turn in an instant take sturdy foot wear and a waterproof jacket :)
