Cranberry Rock (Stiperstones)

Highlight • Summit

Cranberry Rock is an ancient rock crag on the Stiperstones; the first one you will reach if hiking from the south. You are afforded a terrific viewpoint from the outcrop. If you gaze southwest, the high ground of mid-Wales forms the skyline in front of you.

Stiperstones Summit

Highlight • Natural Monument

You can recognise the Stiperstones ridge by the jagged tors at its southern end. Nearly 500 million years ago, the ridge would have risen out above glaciers and the constant freezing and thawing shattered those rocky tors and formed screes. At 1,759 feet (536 m) high, you're rewarded with spectacular views from the summit and along the 5-mile (8 km) ridge.

Devil's Chair (Stiperstones)

Highlight • Climb

The Devil's Chair is the most imposing of the rocky outcrops on the Stiperstones and boasts spectacular views. Legend has it that the Devil was carrying stones in his apron to fill in the valley on the other side of the Stiperstones, known as Hell's Gutter. During his journey from Ireland, the Devil stopped at this spot for a rest. As he got up after the rest, his apron strings snapped and the rocks tumbled out. Instead of picking them up, the Devil left the rocks scattered all over the ridge.
