This gorgeous walk (walking out from Trefriw and back) takes in a variety of scenery – hillsides, lakes, woodland, forestry and open moorland – between Trefriw and Capel Curig. We’ll be passing Llyn Geirionydd on the way out and at our furthest point (see the picture above) we’ll hopefully have great views of Moel Siabod, Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and the Snowdon Horseshoe. We’ll return on the moorland below Crimpiau, eventually descending from the col to scenic Llyn Crafnant, then back to Trefriw, never far from the river Crafnant. This is cuckoo country (that’s the “grey wings”), so we’ll be very surprised if you don’t hear the cuckoo on numerous occasions during the walk.
Good views throughout!
Duration: All day. Please bring a packed lunch.
Distance: 11 Miles / 18 km approximately
Grade: Moderate, but leisurely
Please be aware that this is a rural area and that all our walks take us out into the countryside where some parts of paths and tracks will be uneven and sometimes wet and slippery underfoot; it isn’t like walking on pavements!
Departure time: 09:00 a.m. from Trefriw Village Hall (LL27 0JH, SH781631)
Refreshments will be available in the Hall after your walk. (See ‘our cafe’.) Please stay and socialise!
