This walk explores a fascinating local section of the North Wales Pilgrim’s Way, following ancient paths and quiet lanes through farmland that has been walked for centuries. Starting at Tal-y-Cafn, the route heads gently towards Rowen, with a pause at the 19th-century Seion Chapel. From there the walk becomes more challenging, climbing the steep ‘Coffin Path’ to the remote church of St Celynnin and its sixth-century holy well, rewarding you with fine views across the Conwy Valley.
A walk rich in history, landscape and atmosphere, led by Trefriw resident Rev Eryl Parry, who featured in the BBC’s 2024 Pilgrimage programme at Llangelynnin.
This walk has some steep and uneven paths and tracks which may be wet and slippery underfoot. There may be longer periods of ascent, and you may find poles useful. Please dress for the weather and have suitable footwear.

A walk out from Trefriw and back.
From Trefriw we’ll walk up to the scenic lake of Llyn Parc (between Trefriw and Betws y coed).
Having initially walked over to the area above Gwydir Castle, from there we’ll follow the path overlooking the scenic Conwy valley, up to Llyn Parc. We’ll walk along the lakeside (the lake is 2/3 of a mile long), then we’ll head back to Trefriw through some of the most scenic parts of the Gwydir Forest, including a couple more lovely lakes.
Before we reach Trefriw we’ll be passing Llanrhychwyn Church, one of the oldest in Wales. It was originally established in the 6th century, and the oldest part dates from the late 11th century.
Expect pretty paths and good views throughout.
Duration: All day. Please bring a packed lunch.

Tryfan’s rocky North Ridge is an iconic grade 1 scramble and is one of the most popular routes in the UK.
Tryfan or Tri faen – 3 rocks – stands proud above the Ogwen Valley. At 918m it is one of the fourteen 3,000 ft peaks in Wales.
We will be scrambling up from the valley floor – in the footsteps of mountaineers George Mallory and Sir Edmond Hilary, of Everest fame – to its summit which is crowned by two fabled standing stones, Sion a Sian or Adam and Eve.
We will have an early start to avoid the crowds and enjoy a well earned lunch break high above the Ogwen Valley, returning via the South Summit and Llyn Bochlwyd.
There will be some steep, rocky and exposed sections so a steady head for heights will be required. This scramble is for fit and experienced walkers only.
Remember that it will be much colder on the tops, even in May. Please ensure that you have good, warm, waterproof clothing, including hat and gloves, and suitable sturdy boots (no trainers).
Duration: All day. Please bring a packed lunch.
Distance: 3 Miles / 4.5km
Grade: Moderate
Car share out and back to Pentre Du.
Departure time: 08.45 a.m. from Trefriw Village Hall (LL27 0JH, SH781631)

This an exhilarating grade 1 scramble in the Glyderau. We set off from Ogwen Cottage and head up to Llyn Idwal. From there we make our way up Senior’s Gully and Senior’s Ridge. Once the ridge is cleared we summit Glyder Fawr and Glyder Fach, taking in Castell Y Gwynt and the iconic Cantilever Stone — a must for those brave enough to capture a truly memorable photo.
We then descend down through Bwlch Tryfan past lonely Llyn Bochlwyd and back to Ogwen Cottage.
If there is poor weather Devil’s Kitchen and Y Garn is the back-up plan
This scramble is for fit and experienced walkers only.There will be some steep, rocky and exposed sections so a steady head for heights is needed.

Two groups will be able to enjoy a walk and a wild swim in the calm waters of Llyn Parc.
The walkers will be accompanied by two of our leaders, and the swim will be overseen by Ffit Conwy Instructors / Lifeguards.
The first group will walk up from Trefriw, ending up at Hafna Mine car park where you’ll meet our swim instructors and the second group for lunch. You’ll then walk up to remote Llyn Parc for a leisurely swim.
After a hot drink, you’ll retrace your steps to Hafna where the minibus will return you to Trefriw – and cake
The second group will do this in reverse, ie travel to Hafna by bus, meet Swim Instructors and walk to Llyn Parc. Enjoy a swim then return to Hafna for lunch and the walk back to Trefriw.
The speed and distance is up to you but this is for experienced open / cold water swimmers only. Please bring swim gear, changing robes or towels and a wetsuit to carry with you.
A warm drink and snacks/food for after your swim is a must.

After a minibus drop-off at the popular Pont y Pair bridge in Betws-y-Coed, we follow the Afon Llugwy upstream across open meadows to the distinctive Miners’ Bridge. A short, quiet stretch of road then leads to a viewpoint above Swallow Falls, with excellent opportunities to pause and take in the scenery.
We continue by skirting above the Ugly House, enjoying views across the river valley and towards Moel Siabod, before climbing on forestry tracks to the pretty Llyn Bychan — an ideal spot for a lunch stop.
From here we descend to Llyn Geirionydd, where public toilets are available, and finish the walk on a beautiful descending path through birch and oak woodland, returning to the village of Trefriw.
Duration: All Day, please bring a packed lunch

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.

Taking advantage of a start at altitude, near the historic Pen y Gwryd Hotel — a favourite haunt of Everest mountaineers — we set off on a steady climb with sweeping views of Yr Wyddfa unfolding behind us. This broad ridge offers a quieter, less-travelled approach to the summit of Moel Siabod, with the scenery improving at every step. From the top, on a clear day, we may even catch a glimpse of the sea in the distance.
Our descent leads us down towards Capel Curig, passing through woodland before finishing at another iconic mountaineers’ hub, Plas y Brenin National Outdoor Centre. Here, there’s time for a well-earned rest and a drink in the bar while we wait for the minibus home.
Duration: All day. Please bring a packed lunch
Distance: 6 Miles / 10 km

Join us for a walk from the peaceful village of Ysbyty Ifan into the wild uplands of Bwlch y Pentre, finishing at Rhydlydan with a welcome drink at Y Giler Arms.
Ysbyty Ifan, has long been a place of refuge, where the Knights of St John tended weary pilgrims crossing the remote hills. In later centuries the village was a haven for rebels and outlaws.
As we climb through marshland and quiet farmland along old drovers’ roads, it’s easy to imagine the Red Bandits of Mawddwy hiding among the crags and heather above.

Retracing the steps of three men who, on January 9th, 1865, set off from Bethesda to walk to the Cwm Eigiau quarry. Walking across the high Carneddau in the depths of winter can easily be fatal……
