|
7.5 km | 220m | Starts at Beddgelert which is approx. 6 miles from campsite | Mostly easy hike with one steep section to cross over the ridge to Cwm Bychan. Good views of surrounding hills ( Snowdon, Moel Hebog, Nantlle Ridge& Cnicht) and ends with the beautiful Aberglasyn Pass walk by the river back to Beddgelert | |
Snowdon (Rhyd Ddu Path) |
12 km | 900 m | Starts at Rhyd Ddu, which is approx 3 miles from the campsite | A good walking path, but it does go up a lot so if you've never walked up a hill before, this is probably a bit much to tackle! The views are terrific, but check the weather forecast for cloud cover and wind speed . You can make it a circular walk by returning most of the way down the Snowdon Ranger Path before linking back to Rhyd Ddu. | |

Starts at Beddgelert, approx 7 miles from the campsite | Steep walk up a clear path for most of way, but does have a scrambly section. Steep down section to Beddgelert Forest to return to start. Option to extend the walk by adding a further two peaks. |

 Cwm Penant |
8 km | 250m | Starts at Beddgelert Forest, approx 5 miles from the campsite | Easy walking in Beddgelert Forest, with amazing views over to Snowdon, Nantlle Ridge, Moel Eilio & Moel Hebog, and not forgetting Cwm Pennant and the coast!. A couple of small boggy sections, a rougher path on the return loop and some map reading skills needed too. |
