Carneddau Canvas Print

Looking Glass Collection Canvas print of the central Carneddau in Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park.

The largest contiguous mountain area of the UK outside of the Scottish Highlands, the Carneddau is vast, remote and stunning. Ascend its flanks and you are greeted with a near untouched wilderness high above the hustle and bustle in the valleys below. Favoured by those seeking little to no contact with fellow walkers, the central Carneddau, even on a busy day, can feel lonely and forlorn.

Home to 7 of the Welsh 3000s and the challenge’s traditional finish at Foel-fras, the range is also home to the UK’s only population of wild horses roaming free. While largely untouched, the eagle-eyed can spot signs of human activity in the valleys leading up to the high plateau, including a number of reservoirs such as the Dulyn Reservoir and its famous Bothy.
