The Welsh 3000'ers

The 15 Mountains that rise above 3000ft in Wales

 

The Welsh 3000'ers comprise 15 tops that rise above 915m (3000ft) and have at least 30m of reascent on all sides.

 

The highest point is SNOWDON (Yr Wyddfa in Welsh) and there are 7 in The Carneddau, 5 in the The Glyders and 3 in The Snowdon Area

 

You can do all the Welsh 3000'ers in just 4 walks.

 

The 4 walks we recommend to start you off are:

gw183 Bera Bach, Foel Grach & Drum from Bont Newydd

 

cw129 Carnedd Dafydd, Carnedd Llewelyn & Yr Elen from Glan Dena

 

gw102 The Welsh 3000’s (The Glyders) from Llanberis

 

gw136 The Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) Horseshoe from Pen y Pass  or  gw198 The Welsh 3000’s (Snowdon Area) from Pen y Pass

It is very difficult to walk all 15 3000ft tops in a single day - unless you can tackle 52km (32.5 mls) with 4,549m (14,921ft) of ascent (& our walk timing algorithm suggests this would take over 27hours)

 

If you are new to the concept of 'Peak Bagging' - any of these 15 would be a really good place to start your collection.
