A walk out from Trefriw and back. Tickets: £12
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.
