A Tomb with a view
Moel Trefriw and Capel Garmon Tickets: £12
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 Eryri -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.
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. There may be cattle in some fields.

Departure time: 10:00 a.m. from Trefriw Village Hall(LL27 0JH, SH781631) Please arrive 20 minutes before your walk departs.
