moderate
Distance 14.4 km
From Kings Hostel, we climb to the car park at Tŷ Nant and ascend the steep northern slopes of Cadair Idris along the well-built Pony Path. At the top of Rhiw Gwredydd, we can continue straight ahead on to the long descent into Llanfihangel-y-Pennant, or detour left for a final steep pull to the summit. Later, we pass the medieval stronghold of Castell y Bere and follow the emerald valley of the Afon Dysynni into Abergynolwyn.
