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!

Refreshments will be available in the Hall after your walk. (See ‘our cafe’.)  Please stay and socialise!

Meander in the Moelwynion

In a less frequented but still magnificent corner of the national park, we will circumnavigate Moel yr hydd and traverse the most beautiful balcony walk in Eryri.

Refreshing Riverside Ramble

On this scenic walk – through meadows and forest paths – which follows the Betws to Capel Curig section of the Snowdonia Slate Trail, we’ll initially never be far from the river Llugwy, and its numerous falls, including the famous Swallow Falls. As we approach the end of the walk we’ll get great views over the mountains.

The walk will end at Plas y Brenin at Capel Curig, where we can have a panad or a pint while waiting for our minibus back to Trefriw.

Duration:  All day.  Please bring a packed lunch.

Distance:  6½ miles / 11 km              

Grade:  Easy / moderate

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!

A Tomb with a View

Venturing across the Conwy Valley, we will rise nearly 1,000 ft above Betws-y-coed to Moel Trefriw, one of the furthest vantage points from which to see Trefriw. The walk, with its elevated location, will give splendid views over the northern Snowdonia mountains.

We’ll then descend via the famous Neolithic burial chamber at Capel Garmon. Tombs of this type belong to an archaeological grouping called ‘Cotswold-Severn’, after the area in which they are generally found, so its unusual position so far north remains a mystery.

Duration:  All day.  Please bring a packed lunch.

Distance:  7 miles / 11 km

Grade:  Moderate, with some 300m (1,000 ft) of ascent.

It is a steep ascent at the beginning but thereafter moderate. There are some streams and the odd boggy bits to cross, so good footwear is essential. There may be cattle in some fields.

Departure time:  10:00 a.m. from Trefriw Village Hall (LL27 0JH, SH781631)
Minibus out and back

Refreshments will be available in the Hall both before and after your walk. (See ‘our cafe’.)  Please stay and socialise!
