WALKS

Amazing walks in North Wales

From casual riverside strolls to gruelling hikes up to the summit of Snowdon, North Wales features amazing walking trails. Whether you have a couple of hours or a full day to explore, you will discover the perfect walk. There are special places to experience and you won’t believe how quiet most of the trails are, even in the summer holidays. We are keen to walk as many of the routes as possible and will be updating this site with guides to each hike as we complete them. We will take pictures along the way and will do our best to capture the highlights for you.

We hope that our short guides to the walks will give you a flavour of what to expect and will help you to choose the trails which best suit your fitness level. Each guide includes directions to the nearest parking area, an indication of how long it will take you to complete the route and anything important that you should know before setting out.
