About the Cambrian Mountains

The Cambrian Mountains form the backbone of the nation under which, according to ancient legend, the Welsh dragon slumbers.

This is a landscape full of contrasts. Wild, heather-topped moors perch above oak-hung valleys: a land of lakes and mountain torrents – the natural refuge for otters, kites, peregrines and polecats.

And around the rugged uplands lies a necklace of unique market towns and villages linked by ancient tracks and trails.
