There
are many Snowdonia attractions, one of the most popular being
walking in snowdonia. The Gwernan hotel is near Dolgellau,
at the head
of the magnificent
Mawddach
Estuary, an ideal centre for exploring the whole of the southern
half of the Snowdonia National Park.
Cader Idris dominates the landscape, inviting walkers of different abilities
to climb the mountain from several paths, allowing breathtaking views across
Wales. For walkers who like their territory somewhat less steep, the valley surrounding
the hotel leads to the lakes at Cregannan and the stunning view of Barmouth from
the hill. |
