Waun-oer, Summit in Gwynedd, United Kingdom.
Waun-oer is a summit in the Cadair Idris mountain range standing at 670 meters with a trig point on a rolling grassy plateau. The peak offers wide views across surrounding terrain and sits within Snowdonia National Park.
The mountain became part of Snowdonia National Park in 1951 when the protected area was established. This designation marked an important step in preserving Welsh mountain landscapes for the future.
The mountain is part of a local hiking tradition where walkers connect multiple peaks across the region. Visitors can follow these routes today and experience the landscape as mountaineers have done for generations.
Marked trails lead to the summit with the most direct route starting from a parking area near Dolgellau via eastern paths. Check weather conditions before heading up and wear proper hiking boots along with waterproof clothing.
The summit is known among hikers for its location within the Cadair Idris mountain complex, an area with numerous walking routes. The ridge offers varying degrees of challenge and diverse views for those exploring the range.
