Wales is famous for mountains with the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales the most well known. However, much of Wales's diverse landscape is mountainous, particularly in the north and central regions. The mountains were shaped during the last ice age, the Devensian glaciation. The highest mountains in Wales include Snowdon, which at 3,560 feet high is the highest peak in Wales. There are 14 more Welsh mountains over 3,000 feet high which are known collectively as the Welsh 3000's. Apart from Snowdonia there are other famous mountainous region of Wales such as the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains. The Brecon Beacons are in the south with the highest mountain being Pen-y-Fan at 2,907 ft. The Brecon Beacons are neighboured by the Cambrian Mountains in Mid Wales after which the earliest geological period of the Paleozoic era, the Cambrian, is named. The Black Mountains are in the south east of Wales. With so much choice and diversity to choose from why not take up the gauntlet and climb all 188 the Welsh mountains in my list which are all over 2,000 feet high?
