Description
The name of the mountain has several theories. The most well known is that Cadair Idris (English: the chair of Idris) is in reference to a giant of Welsh mythology who was said to have used Llyn Cau as an enormous armchair to gaze at the stars. The spelling Cader Idris is also found in both Welsh and English, as reflected in the local name of the local secondary school, Ysgol y Gader (never Ysgol y Gadair). Although cader is not incorrect, Cadair Idris is the form used on current maps in reflection of modern standardised Welsh spelling. An alternative theory is that a 7th-century Meirionnydd prince Idris ap Gwyddno (or Gweiddno) won a battle against the Irish on the mountain. Cadr is the Welsh word for stronghold which sounds similar to the Welsh word for chair cadair. Cad is also a prefix that relates to battle. Cadr Idris may have been the stronghold of Idris ap Gwyddno. The entire mountain is called Cader Idris but its summit is known as Penygader

Dry stone wall leading the landscape of mountains at Cadair Idris, Snowdonia National Park. PICTURES OF CADAIR IDRIS BY GRAHAM COLEMAN: Cadair Idris or 'Chair of Idris', the range of mountains occupying the Southern tip of the Snowdonia National Park, are undoubtedly one of the most beautiful high land regions in Britain. Legend has it that the 'chair' shape formed on the flanks of Pen y Gadair Fawr was the throne of Idris the Welsh Giant. Other tales predict that He whole spends a night on Pen Y Gadair will return a Genius or a Lunatic!
