Cambrian Way
|
Cambrian Way South
The mountains of south Wales offer some superb ridge walks, which combine to form the southern section of the Cambrian Way. Following a high level route, based on Tony Drake’s book, this magnificent and challenging walk fully encompasses the region’s grandeur. |
 |
Walking the long grassy ridges of the Black Mountains |
|
Summits of the Brecon Beacons, with their views deep into Mid Wales and hopefully as far as the Somerset coast |
|
The lesser-known but equally attractive summits of the Black Mountain |
|
|
|
Cambrian Way North
Following a high-level route through the mountains of Snowdonia, the Cambrian Way is the most challenging of our guided trails. Visiting many of the region’s highest summits, with breathtaking scenery throughout, this is a holiday for the true mountain connoisseur. |
|
Great mountain walking from the Rhinogs to the Carneddau |
|
Snowdon, the highest summit in England and Wales |
|
Walking on the Glyders and balancing on the cantilever stone |
