This Cadair Idris contour map print turns Cadair Idris into clean, flowing lines. In fact, every contour is a step up in height, so you can read the shape of the mountain at a glance.
About Cadair Idris
Its name means Idris’s Chair, after the giant said to have sat here. The summit, Penygadair, sits above a ring of dark cliffs round Llyn Cau, a lake held in a glacial hollow. Legend says anyone who spends a night on top will wake as a poet or a madman.
How we make the Cadair Idris contour map
First, we draw the contours from real elevation data. Then we take the summit height from a surveyed source, so the print is as accurate as it is decorative. Bolder lines also carry their heights along them, and a small triangle marks the summit itself. As a result, the print works both as a piece of art and as a record of the mountain.
Choosing your print
There are six colour styles: Minimal, Dark, Blueprint, Vintage, Forest and Slate. Each one comes in A3, A2 or 50 × 70 cm. You can also choose it unframed or in a solid pine frame in black, white, natural or dark wood. For example, Vintage suits a warm, traditional room, while Dark or Slate makes a bold statement on a pale wall. Finally, we print each one to order on quality matte paper, and every print has free UK delivery.
