This reserve is a classic example of a landscape which was sculptured by ice thousands of years ago. Many maintain that it is also a prime example of a nature reserve and it was the very first to be designated in Wales, back in 1954. Rare arctic-alpine plants grow on the cliffs and the first of these to appear as the winter snows melt is the pretty purple saxifrage. Cwm Idwal is also a place to see upland birds - for example, the ring ouzel, wheatear and peregrine. The whole valley is a playground for climbers and busy mountain routes pass through the reserve. It is also used extensively as an outdoor classroom by pupils and students.
