Cambrian Mountains, Mountain range and Site of Special Scientific Interest in Powys, Wales
The Cambrian Mountains extend through central Wales with diverse geological formations, rolling hills, deep valleys, and numerous mountain peaks reaching up to 752 meters.
The mountains contain rock formations dating back to the Paleozoic era, approximately 542 million years ago, giving the name to the Cambrian geological period.
The landscape of the Cambrian Mountains influenced Welsh folklore through generations, with local communities preserving tales of mythological creatures in their native language.
Multiple walking trails cross the mountain range, connecting major peaks like Pumlumon Fawr and Y Garn, while offering opportunities for wildlife observation.
The mountains serve as the source for major rivers including the Severn and Wye, with several reservoirs supplying water to English Midlands and South Wales.
