'It is possible to go for a walk on the shores of "Afon Heulyn", the Menai Strait, or across the fields towards Bethel. Or, what about a circular route around the village using parts of "Lon Las" and the village's public footpaths. In Allt Gam and Penrallt you can feel as though you're in the middle of the country whilst in the centre of the village ...'

'The mountainous terrain on Snowdon can become challenging with steep gradients, rocky paths and some scrambling required. Exceptional care should be taken when attempting these paths in winter conditions as the ground underfoot can become treacherous and should not be attempted by novice walkers ...'

Snowdonia National Park

'Snowdonia is immersed in archaeological history and within the boundaries of the National Park there are sites of archaeological interest showing how people inhabited the area through the years. There are a number of key areas where visitors and locals can trace archaeological developments and see for themselves the historical importance assigned to this area ... ' Note Link replaced as that from Snowdonia National Park Authority seems no longer accessible.

'A selection of walks we believe are suitable for families. With the exception of the Mawddach Trail, they are all under 3 miles long and on average, take between one and three hours to complete. There are some also suitable for pushchairs.' (However, the ‘Family Walks’ facility, as such, seems to have been removed from the Website.)

'In April 2002, the Snowdonia National Park established two Local Access Forums – one for the North, and one (jointly with Gwynedd Council) for the South of the National Park. The Forums were established in accordance with Regulations issued by Welsh Assembly Government and guidance from the Countryside Council for Wales. Membership is equally balanced between land management and recreation interests. Meetings are open to the public. The Membership must be reappointed every three years, in accordance with the Regulations. This was done in April 2014, and the process will be repeated early in 2017.'

'If you're looking for walks where accessibility is a key factor and perhaps distance is also an important consideration, then these accessible walks should address both. Whether you're looking for a long walk such as the Mawddach Trail or a short stroll along the Traeth Benar boardwalk, what these walks have in common is that they have been designed with accessibility in mind ...'

Routes Up Mount Snowdon | Snowdon.Com

‘There are many awesome walks in Snowdonia National Park. From walks up Snowdon, Glyderau and Carneddau to Rhinogydd and Cader Idris. The peak of Tryfan is as iconic a mountain as you can get, and with summits like Glyder Fawr and the Nantlle Ridge there's something for everyone. Not forgetting Crib Goch and the Snowdon Horseshoe!  There’s also walking for all abilities from low level family walks in Snowdonia such as the walk to Cwm Idwal, moderate walks in Snowdonia, to proper hill walking over mountains and scrambles. There are even a few coastal sections near Abergwyngregyn in the north and along the Meirionnydd coast that’s entirely walk-able along the Wales Coast Path.‘

Mud and Routes

'This is thought to be one of the most hard going paths up Snowdon, as it starts only a little above sea level. The path starts off wide and quite even, but becomes rocky towards the second half, and then crosses loose scree.'

Snowdonia National Park

'A good challenge for any fit walker which also is one of the best walks in Snowdownia. The route ascends all the peaks over 3000 feet starting with Snowdon (Yr Wydffa) and finishing with Foel Fras in the Carneddau.'

The Welsh 3000s Challenge : 'You don't need to be a fell runner. Many people walk this. However, it's extremely tough, and is a big step up from something like the "Three Peaks Challenge". It's only suitable for very fit and experienced mountain walkers.'
