About Godre Fynydd
Sitting on the southern fringes of the Cadair Idris massif, this 508-metre Tump provides a quieter alternative to the range's busier peaks. The terrain is typical of the Tarren hills—often pathless and rugged—rewarding hikers with earned views over the Dysynni valley and the striking inland cliff of Bird Rock.
