Description

Bypass the struggle to Snowdonias summit & experience Snowdonia beauty by hiking its slightly lower foothills and valleys. Just as dramatic, if not more breathtaking. This moderate hike has it all.
• We start our day with a meet and greet at Llandudno Railway Station. After a briefing we get our charged day underway by heading to Aber Falls via Conwy.
• We pass through the ancient village of Conwy by passing the historic castle.
• Aber Falls - Why this path? (Easy)
Aber Waterfalls is an accessible path to the foot of one of Snowdonia’s most impressive waterfalls. The wonder of Aber Falls is the fact that one of the National Park’s most impressive features can be so accessible to many. Aber Falls is an excellent option for those at the beginning of their journey to discover what makes Snowdonia so unique.
Aber Falls is a fantastic option for those just arriving at the National Park. The route offers many picnic areas with wide, open spaces perfect for families with young children.
• A majestic drive through Nant Francon Pass with a view of what lies ahead on our next journeys hike.
• Cwm Idwal Circular - Why this path? (Moderate)
One of the most impressive areas of the National Park’s landscape
Standing in the heart of Cwm Idwal might be the only way of truly experiencing the otherwordly atmosphere that emanates from this small glacial valley. The crater-like cavity of Cwm Idwal is the result of phenomenal geological activity that took place millions of years ago. It is one of the finest places to witness the aftermath of these forces throughout the National Park. Cwm Idwal has been attracting climbers, hikers, geologists, biologists, and botanists alike for many years. The most notable of Cwm Idwal’s visitors is Charles Darwin, who conducted much of his scientific work in the area.
Cwm idwals hike to devils kitchen is very challenging, however we choose this shorter, less challenging path that is suitable for less-experienced walkers.
• Scenic drive through the ogwen valley, and down the famous Pen y Pass Drive towards Padarn Country Park in the village of Llanberis, at the base of Mount Snowdon
One of the best-hidden gems in Snowdonia National Park has to be Dinorwic Quarry which sits above the town of Llanberis.
It’s a disused slate quarry that was once a powerhouse of slate mining and at its peak was the second-largest producer of slate in the world. Today, it’s a popular attraction for both walkers and rock climbers. The highest point is 670 metres above sea level and so it provides spectacular panoramic views over Snowdonia National Park. From here, on a clear day, you can see over Llyn Padarn, Llanberis, Dolbadarn Castle, the peaks of Snowdonia, and for miles beyond that.
Again this is an easy moderate walking route. There is an abundance of wildlife in the area, so keep your eyes out for mountain goats.
• We finish the day with a scenic drive of the North Wales coast towards Llandudno
