The Meirionnydd Ramblers are a friendly and welcoming group. We offer regular and varied walks in the wonderful countryside in and around southern Snowdonia.
This is a meandering walk above Bronaber, an area steeped in history, from the legendary giant Idris who reputedly threw the standing stone known as Llech Idris from Cadair Idris, through the Roman occupation (we walk along part of the Roman road Sarn Helen and can make a detour to see the site of Roman tile kilns) up to the 20th century when the British army used the area as a training ground. We also pass the cast of a grave stone (the original dating from about 700AD), of Porius, “a plain man”.
