Kings Youth Hostel is about a mile up a secluded wooded valley from the main road from Dolgellau to the east. It offers a good starting point for walks in the local countryside. Probably most people who stay there (as my group did in August 2005) do so with one common main objective: to climb Cader Idris (2927 feet) - about a three hour walk from the hostel to the summit, a popular walk. Pleasant walkers-type atmosphere, comfortable lounge, good dormitory accommodation and self catering kitchen plus friendly and helpful staff.
