SOUTHERN ERYRI
choose from
CADER IDRIS, ARENIG, DIFFWYS or the RHINOGAU 

NORTHERN ERYRI
choose from
YR WYDDFA (SNOWDON), GLYDERAU or GARNEDDAU

We recommend choosing Southern Snowdonia as it's the quieter area of the national park and is in easy reach of The Old Vicarage, which also reduces the carbon impact of the travel to the meeting sites.

​

Cader Idris is just behind The Old Vicarage, so is reachable in 10 minutes, for the others it's between 20-40 minutes drive

Recommended for guests staying with us for longer periods, wishing to explore further afield.
