Catching a dream

Enjoy the dawn chorus on an early morning walk in the countryside near Trefriw with some local bird watchers.
While walking a loop that includes woodland and riverbank, learn how to identify birds by their song.
We will be going at a leisurely pace, though there will be some rough and short steep sections.
The ground may be wet in places. Good boots and binoculars recommended.

There’ll be a hot drink and biscuits waiting for us on our return to the Village Hall,
and we’ll be back in sufficient time for you to attend another main walk, if you wish!

Knights and Bandits

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.

Duration:   All day.  Bring a packed lunch.

Distance:   7 Miles / 11 km 

Grade:         Moderate

This walk has some steep sections which may be wet underfoot. There may be longer periods of ascent, and you may find poles useful. Please bring sturdy waterproof footwear, a packed lunch, and plenty of drinks.
