Located near to Dolgellau is the the mountain Cader Idris which attracts the majority of visitors to the area. According to legend, years ago, the mountain was a chair (‘cadair’) for Idris Gawr (a local giant) and the town is certainly nestled at the foot of the mountain. to https://naturalresources.wales
