The Outdoors

The Snowdon Ranger is believed to be the earliest of the six main routes to the summit of Yr Wyddfa.

The route starts at the shores of Llyn Cwellyn, giving the path its Welsh name of Llwybr Cwellyn (Cwellyn Path). It climbs gradually to the slopes of Moel Cynghorion and over to Bwlch Cwm Brwynog before ascending steeply above Clogwyn Du’r Arddu and merging with the Llanberis Path to the summit.

Beddgelert is well known for the many exciting mountain trails nearby, especially in the forest! Don't have a bike? No problem, hire a mountain bike or even an electric bike for that extra adrenaline rush!

Once in Beddgelert village, why not visit the stone monument of 'Gelert', the legendary faithful hound of the medieval Welsh Prince Llywelyn the Great. Just simply follow the footpath along the banks of the river Glaslyn.

Beddgelert is a picturesque stone built village. Here is where you can enjoy shops, craft stores, cafes, pubs, ice cream and a pizzeria!

Discover the legendary trail of Dinas Emrys where Merlin once trod and where a dragon still sleeps.

This area is centred on Dinorwig Quarry. It’s an astoundingly beautiful landscape, with Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris at it's heart. Dolbadarn Castle has guarded this valley since the 13th Century. 

Enjoy a day at the waterfalls and crystal clear pools. The perfect way to cool off on a sunny day!

In the shadow of busy Snowdon is the standalone summit of Mynydd Mawr. Escape the crowds and savour the solitude as you walk from Rhyd Ddu up a lovely grassy ridge to the peak, where you’ll be treated to great views of Craig y Bera, Nantlle Ridge, and Moel Hebog. The walk up Mynydd Mawr is quick, steep only in parts, and a perfect mountain escape when you only have the morning or afternoon to get outside.

The Wales Coast Path is one of the few footpaths in the world to follow a nation's coastline.
