Held Early November.

'Trefriw nestles into the heavily wooded eastern edge of Snowdonia. Once a thriving port and resort, the world passed it by as the river Conwy silted up. It is now the ideal place to stay, for visitors to Snowdonia, who wish to avoid the crowds and commercialism of the better known resorts and enjoy the simple pleasures of the glorious countryside around us while still having an excellent base for exploring this fascinating corner of Britain.' Held Mid May.

'This scenic new trail around the Alwen Reservoir follows the shoreline and takes you through forest plantations and up onto Mynydd Hiraethog with stunning landscape views from high on the moorland.'

Visit Hiraethog

'Footpath climbs through woodlands and fields before it reaches the small hamlet of Capel Garmon, which offers magnificent views of the Conwy Valley. It then passes the Neolithic burial chamber that dates back to the 3rd Millennium BC before making its way through fields and woodland as it rejoins the path you ascended at the start of the walk.' However details of this Walk, originally referenced on the Snowdonia National Park Website, were then archived and now seem no longer accessible via that Site. Conwy Valley Ramblers should have the latest information on the status of the Walk.

'Are you interested in joining guided walks? Cerdded Conwy Walks are a group of Volunteer walk leaders who put together seasonal walk programmes supported by Conwy County Borough Council ... '

'In true Welsh fashion you'll have a song in your heart as you set foot into the Conwy Valley to enjoy the walks detailed here. Sublime mountain views, forest paths, lakeside trails, neolithic settlements, tumbling waterfalls. each carefully detailed walk contains its own wealth of delights. Whether you're in the mood for a gentle 'after lunch' stroll or a challenging stroll to the summit of a distant ridge, you'll find a walk to suit, all of them easily accessible from Betws-y-Coed and the Conwy Valley.' ALERT Unfortunately, the Website cited here seems no longer - and I have not been able to locate a reliable compilation of the dozen Walks I listed. So I have replaced the Link with one from Walking Britain.

The network consists of a linear 40 mile route, together with six shorter circular routes which can each be walked individually.'
