The Mighty Cadair Idris, Wales (Snowdonia Mountain Range) BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND

The Mighty Cadair Idris, Wales (Snowdonia Mountain Range) BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND

YHA Kings, Kings Youth Hostel, Islawr-dref, Dolgellau LL40 1TB, UK, Dolgellau, al, GB

ONE-OFF – Easter Bank Holiday Special - we've managed to secure this hostel for the best Bank Holiday of the year - the only one with 4 days holiday...

This Easter Bank Holiday, we head to Cadair Idris, arguably the most dramatic mountain in southern Snowdonia, rising above the Mawddach Estuary with a long elevated ridge, a glacial lake near the summit, and wide-ranging views across the mountains and out to Cardigan Bay. Quieter and wilder than Snowdon, and accessible only on foot, Cadair Idris offers a more immersive mountain experience. We’ll also discover the stunning Welsh coastline with a scenic hike along the hills to Barmouth and across the vast and breathtaking Mawddach sand estuary - often considered the UK's most stunning estuary. On the final day we enjoy a gentler walk through woodland, valley tops, and along a lake. We stay in a remote rural hostel beside the River Gwynant that we've hired exclusively for our group, with two hikes starting directly from the hostel and only the final day requiring a short drive.

📏 Key Info
• 🌙 Nights: 3 (Fri-Mon)
• 💷 Cost: £266 early bird / £308 standard
• 🥾 Difficulty: Intermediate/Tough (3 hikes: 2-3 hrs, 5-6.5 hrs, 6.5-8 hrs)
• 🍽️ Meals Included: All breakfasts, all packed lunches, Sat & Sun dinner, cream tea

🌟 Trip Highlights
• Summit the majestic Cadair Idris (893m) on a stunning mountain hike
• Enjoy a stay at a remote and idyllic Rural Hostel on the banks of the River Gwynant, surrounded by woodland
• Hike the coastal estuary around Barmouth
• Explore the charming seaside town and golden sand beaches of Barmouth
• Discover mountain ridges, lakes, and valleys on a gentler final day hike
• Escape the crowds and experience the peaceful side of Snowdonia
• Enjoy a sociable group adventure in stunning natural surroundings

🥾 Trip Description
Cadair Idris is a spectacular mountain consisting of a 3km long elevated ridge and a glacial lake near the summit. It offers breathtaking views on a clear day – Mount Snowdon can be seen as well as views of Cardigan Bay and the sea.

Cadair Idris is 893m high and after we reach the summit we will have a lofty hike around the narrow rim of its cwm, offering breathtaking views in all directions. Snowdon attracts the masses due to being the largest mountain in Wales, while Cadair Idris is often considered the more rewarding mountain walk and a lot quieter.

On Sunday, we’ll ease off the altitude but keep the wow factor with a coastal and mountain hike to the seaside town of Barmouth. This route is a hidden treasure - a rugged and scenic climb into the hills where the sea meets the mountains. With sweeping views of the Mawddach estuary, coastline, and Snowdonia’s peaks, it’s a breathtaking contrast to the raw, alpine drama of Cadair Idris. After arriving in Barmouth, we’ll have free time to unwind and explore - with a walk along the beach, a coffee by the harbour, or a wander through its historic streets.

Monday offers a gentle finale - a peaceful hike through ancient woodland, glacial valleys, and alongside mountain lakes. This relaxed walk is ideal for stretching your legs one final time before the journey home. Though easier in pace, the scenery is still classic Snowdonia, with wild ridges, hidden trails, and tranquil waters reflecting the surrounding peaks. We aim to finish around midday, giving you plenty of time to make the drive home, rested and recharged from this mountain adventure.

📅 Itinerary

Friday – Arrival
Arrive at our exclusively hired hostel accommodation booked in Snowdonia. Settle into your room, and meet your fellow hikers over a relaxed evening. The atmosphere is informal - no rush, just good company and excitement for the days ahead.

Saturday – Cadair Idris
• Distance: 13km (8 miles)
• Grading: Challenging, some proper mountain hiking
• Ascent: 910m
• Hiking time: 5 - 6.5 hours

We’ll set out directly from the hostel on foot and join the Pony Track, a classic route up Cadair Idris - so no driving today. The path begins gently before opening into wide mountain views, steadily gaining height with every step. As we climb, the trail skirts the edge of the dramatic glacial cwm, revealing ever-expanding vistas of the surrounding peaks and valleys. There are sections that are very steep and some with loose scree/rocky zones.

Reaching the summit, you’ll be rewarded on a clear day with sweeping 360-degree views across Snowdonia, the Mawddach Estuary, Cardigan Bay, the Llyn Peninsula, and even the distant mountains of Ireland. After this challenging but unforgettable day on the mountain, we’ll return to the hostel for a well earned, hearty dinner.

Sunday – Barmouth Estuary
• Distance: 22km (14 miles)
• Grading: Intermediate/Tough - it's a long hike with hills too
• Ascent: 410m
• Hiking time: 6.5 - 8 hours

Discover the best of coast and countryside on this stunning circular hike to Barmouth.

We’ll set off from the hostel and follow a beautiful trail that brings us to the twin lakes of Llynnau Cregennen, perched high above the Mawddach Estuary. These glacial lakes sit in a spectacular setting, with Cadair Idris towering behind and sweeping views down to the sea. From here our route descends towards the coast, where we cross the famous Barmouth Bridge, a mile-long wooden railway viaduct with a footpath that spans the mouth of the estuary.

On the far side, there’s time to wander through Barmouth, a classic seaside town with a sandy beach and harbour. After exploring, we turn inland to join the Mawddach Trail – a former railway line now transformed into a scenic walking path. This gentle track hugs the estuary back towards Dolgellau, with views of tidal waters, salt marshes and mountain backdrops.

Our circular journey ends as we return on foot to YHA Kings, having completed a wonderfully varied day that combines mountains, lakes, estuary, seaside, and woodland in one memorable loop.

This evening, we have a simple and basic pizza dinner at the hostel.

Monday – Lakes and Ridge Walks
• Distance: 6km (4 miles)
• Grading: Beginner/Intermediate
• Ascent: 130m
• Hiking time: 2 - 3 hours

A gentle day today to relax and see a less known area.

Wander through ancient woods, along scenic ridgelines and through breathtaking valleys. Our hike finishes following the shore of a stunning mountain lake.

Typical finish time: midday/early afternoon, typically 12:30 to 1:30pm, so you have plenty of time for the drive back to London. This marks the end of the organised trip.

    🌟 Highlights
    • Explore Hastings, home to Europe’s largest beach-launched fishing fleet and historic net huts
    • Follow the scenic Saxon Shore Way along one of the South East’s most dramatic coastlines
    • Enjoy panoramic cliff-top views, with France visible across the Channel on a clear day
    • Visit Winchelsea, a medieval port town once on the coast before the sea receded
    • Discover the cliffs’ Site of Special Scientific Interest, where dinosaur fossils and crocodile remains have been found
    • End in Rye — one of England’s most enchanting medieval towns, with cobbled streets and timbered houses

    🥾 Hike Description
    Our hike begins in Hastings, best known as the site of the famous 1066 battle where William the Conqueror defeated King Harold. Today, Hastings is a lively coastal town and home to Europe’s largest beach-launched fishing fleet, a sight made even more distinctive by the tall black wooden fishing net huts that line the seafront.

    From here we join the Saxon Shore Way, a historic coastal route named after the Roman forts that once guarded England’s shores. The path climbs onto dramatic sandstone cliffs that have been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest for both their geological and biological importance. As we traverse the cliff tops, the sea views are spectacular, with France sometimes visible across the Channel. Along the way, we’ll learn how the cliffs have revealed dinosaur fossils and even crocodile bones from the Early Cretaceous Period, over 140 million years ago.

    The route then leads us inland to Winchelsea, a medieval port town founded in the 13th century. Once a thriving harbour, the sea has since retreated, leaving Winchelsea perched inland but still rich in history, with ancient walls, medieval cellars and atmospheric streets to explore.

    We finish in the enchanting town of Rye, one of England’s most beautifully preserved medieval gems. With its cobbled streets, half-timbered houses and centuries-old inns, Rye provides a perfect finale to our hike. Time is tight even with an early start and very late return, but you’ll usually have enough time for a quick pub drink or short wander before we head back to London.

    TOUGHNESS, PACE - this hike has some big and tough hills, also it's done at a good pace as timings are tight, please only sign up if you are happy with this.

    🌟 Highlights

    • Explore two counties in one day — Kent and Sussex
    • Pass the historic Groombridge Place Manor, dating back to the 1200s
    • See Harrison’s Rocks, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest
    • Walk through Broadwater Forest, home to rare plants and abundant wildlife
    • Finish in the idyllic village of Eridge, on the Sussex–Kent border

    🥾 Hike Description
    Our hike begins in the quiet village of Ashurst, where we set out along shady woodland trails into the heart of Kent. This early stretch of the hike offers peaceful countryside and a feeling of remoteness, with winding paths through lush greenery and rolling fields. Along the way we pass the moated Groombridge Place Manor, whose 700-year-old history includes design work by Sir Christopher Wren, famed for his reconstruction of St Paul’s Cathedral after the Great Fire of London.

    The highlight of the day is reaching Harrison’s Rocks, a striking series of sandstone outcrops dating back around 135 million years. Their dramatic shapes were sculpted by the last Ice Age, and today they are a favourite with climbers whose skillful ascents we often stop to watch. Walking beneath the crags in their woodland setting is an impressive experience and a reminder of the area’s deep geological past.

    From here, the trail continues across the county border into Sussex, offering far-reaching views of the surrounding hills and countryside. We walk through Broadwater Forest, a landscape of bright woodlands and rare wildlife, before descending towards our final destination.

    We finish in the idyllic village of Eridge, nestled on the northern edge of East Sussex beside the Kent border. With its charming setting and sense of seclusion, it makes for a fitting conclusion to a day exploring the best of two counties, from ancient manors to Ice Age rock formations.

    The Rila Mountains – Bulgaria’s crown jewel and the sixth-highest mountain range in Europe – offer a winter landscape unlike any other. Glacial peaks, icy cascades, and centuries-old pine forests create a serene and otherworldly setting for our adventure.

    On this trip, we’ll snowshoe across spectacular, crisp snowy trails in Rila National Park, where ancient legends and breathtaking scenery converge. Admire frozen waterfalls tumbling from rugged cliffs, traverse snowy ridges with panoramic views, and discover the mystical Seven Rila Lakes, frozen into a shimmering wonderland.

Our frozen magic concludes in Sofia, Bulgaria’s historic and cultural heart, where vibrant streets, ancient ruins, and cozy cafes invite you to explore at your own pace.

    From the thundering Skakavitsa Waterfall to the mythical Seven Rila Lakes, we'll experience a winter wonderland that few travelers ever get to see.

    Important Notes

    This trip is ideal for beginners to snowshoeing with a good level of fitness and some experience of mountain hikes. Hiking boots with ankle protection and proper winter clothing are essential. Snowshoes require hiking boots to attach securely.

    ITINERARY

    Friday

    Arrive at Sofia Airport and transfer to Panichishte – a peaceful mountain resort nestled at 1,350m on the edge of Rila National Park. Surrounded by ancient pine woods and dramatic landscapes, our mountain hotel offers stunning views of the snowy peaks. After check-in, enjoy a warm traditional Bulgarian dinner and relax before the winter magic begins.

    Saturday

    Hike: Skakavitsa Waterfall (1750m)
    Grading: Intermediate
    Hiking time: 4 to 5 hours

    After breakfast, we strap on our snowshoes and begin our journey into the magical winter landscape, following the gentle flow of the Skakavitsa River. We trek through ancient conifer forests, feeling the snow crunch beneath our feet as sunlight filters through frosted branches, the air crisp and filled with the soothing sound of running water.

    Our destination is the majestic Skakavitsa Waterfall thundering 70 meters through a cathedral of centuries-old white pine forests. In winter, its cascading waters freeze into a stunning curtain of glistening ice, surrounded by the silence of winter – a true playground for ice climbers and a breathtaking sight for adventurers.
    Return to our cozy hotel in Panichishte for a well-earned evening of relaxation and warm dinner.

    Sunday

    Hike: Seven Rila Lakes
    Grading: Intermediate
    Hiking time: 4 to 5 hours

    Today, we set off to explore one of the most iconic places in Bulgaria – the Seven Rila Lakes. Nestled between sharp, rocky ridges at an altitude of over 2,000 meters, these stunning glacial lakes sparkle like gems in the alpine landscape. After a scenic chairlift ride with sweeping views of the snow-covered peaks, we begin our snowshoe hike through this breathtaking glacial valley.

    Each lake carries a poetic name reflecting its unique character: Salzata ("The Tear") with its crystal-clear waters, Okoto ("The Eye") as the deepest cirque lake in Bulgaria, Babreka ("The Kidney") with its steep shores. In winter, these lakes transform into a frozen wonderland, their surfaces a glittering canvas of white and blue. Local legend speaks of two giants, lovers turned to stone, whose endless grief created these pristine waters – a romantic tale that adds mystical depth to our adventure.

    In the evening, we'll transfer to Sofia, where our guided trip ends and you'll have a free evening to self explore Bulgaria's vibrant capital nightlife - a city where ancient Roman ruins, Ottoman mosques, and modern boulevards coexist in harmonious contrast.

    Monday

    After breakfast, enjoy some free time to self explore Sofia at your own pace - wander through ancient ruins, visit bustling markets, or admire the stunning mix of mosques, cathedrals, and modern architecture. Then take a short metro ride or taxi to the airport for your flight back home.

    🥾 Hike Description
    This is Outdooraholics’ most popular hike, a dramatic and exhilarating journey across the chalk cliffs of Sussex that we have been leading for over 12 years. The Seven Sisters are a spectacular series of gleaming white chalk cliffs formed at the end of the last Ice Age by glacial meltwater. Erosion has since created an “eighth sister,” and today the cliffs stand as one of England’s most iconic landscapes.

    We begin in the coastal town of Seaford, home to a Napoleonic-era Martello Tower built in 1810 as part of a chain of 103 coastal defences against French invasion. From here, the trail climbs onto the cliff tops, where for much of the day we walk high above the sea, treated to endless coastal views and fresh sea air.

    Our route follows the South Downs Way, passing through Birling Gap and past the striking Belle Tout Lighthouse, famously moved 17 metres inland in 1999 to save it from falling into the sea. The final highlight is Beachy Head, a dramatic beauty spot with sheer chalk cliffs dropping into the sea below.

    We finish in Eastbourne, statistically England’s sunniest town, where we celebrate our coastal adventure with refreshments in a local pub.

    Cliffs – danger
    There are sheer drops off the cliffs and some of these soft chalk cliffs are crumbling at the edges with chunks regularly falling and no fencing in place. Please keep at least 3 metres away from the edges. If you fall, or the ground at the edge of the cliff collapses it will almost certainly be fatal.
