Dôl Idris
This land was donated to the National Park Authority by Mr Ivor Idris at the beginning of the 1980s. His family was famous for producing the well-known ‘Idris’ soft drinks. The remains of the old laboratory can still be seen on sight.
In 2004, the National Park Authority and Snowdonia Upland Paths Partnership completed improvement work at the site. The work included path improvements, a new bridge and landscaping work.
Dôl Idris was officially opened in July 2004 by Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas AM.
In 2007, funding from the Welsh Government enabled the Authority to complete further development. As a result, a new, 645-metre accessible loop was added to the original path.
