Crimpiau 25

Friday 16th May, 2025

Crimpiau 

Crimpiau is a stunning mountain viewpoint between Llyn Crafnant and Capel Curig,
and despite being only 475m / 1,558 ft high, many describe it as one of the best viewpoints in Snowdonia.

(Crimpiau is pronounced locally ‘Crimp – ee – a’, meaning hard sharp edge; ridge, spur; ledge.)

We’ll be taking the minibus to Capel Curig, then taking a scenic walk back to Trefriw,
making a small steep detour to ascend Crimpiau.
It’s a great walk with lovely views from start to finish.

Duration:  All day.  Please bring a packed lunch.

Distance: 10 miles / 16 km

Grade:  Moderate/strenuous  (mostly moderate, though with a steepish ascent to Crimpiau itself)

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)  We’ll be taking a minibus to Ty Hyll

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

Walk Leaders:  Tony Ellis,  Nigel Thomas.
