Experience the quiet majesty of Yr Wyddfa at dusk with a guided twilight trek!

Yr Wyddfa is the highest peak in Wales and at 1085m/3560ft high, it’s a tough climb to reach the summit, and just as tough to walk down in the dark. However, you are rewarded with tremendous views over the coast and northern Snowdonia from its lofty heights.

If the cloud obscures the fine views from the summit, as it often can, there is still plenty of exciting mountain terrain to view around you. You will be joined by qualified local Mountain Leaders who will share their enthusiasm and advice with you all the way. Each stride up is worth it as you head ever higher into the mountain’s unique, mythical environment full of drama… enjoy YOUR Climb Snowdon adventure.

Emma Rodgers

The Clatterbridge Fairy was specially created by our Charity Patron, internationally acclaimed sculptor, Emma Rodgers.

We asked Emma to share why she's supporting our Fairy Appeal:
"I have been a Patron of Clatterbridge Cancer Charity for 14 years now, as my mum is cared for there. They are incredible with her and getting the 'all clear' was a wonderful moment. They've done more for me than I can ever do for them, so creating the Fairy seems a small thing, really.

And this year I will be dedicating my Fairy to Professor Myint and the Team at Clatterbridge love from Emma, Milly, Annie and family."
