Climbing
 
Climbing in the south of the Park it is much less popular, and routes are consequently often vegetated. But if you are looking for solitude then this is the area to go. Craig Cowach (Cywarch) boasts good climbing on numerous buttresses.

The rich diversity of habitats in Snowdonia attracts many species of bird to the area.
