Llanidloes Without walks

Except for the final 1km (½ mile), the walk from Rhyd-y-benwch to the source of the river and back is almost entirely within the confines of the Hafren Forest. So, perfect on a fine day, not so good in the rain.

Great walk, climbing above Craig Goch Reservoir and over and past Roman camp, returning via Esgair Penygarreg at 530 metres, returning along the construction railway path (Elan Valley Trail) alongside Penygarreg Reservoir to the car park by the dam. Outstanding views throughout this walk.

A Ceredigion walk in the Cambrian Mountains that takes you to the summit of Pen y Garn. The walk provides some wide ranging views across some wild country. The route follows good tracks and paths for the most part.

A circular walk taking you to the summit of Foel Dinas and around, with great views on all sides.

A fascinating route which circumnavigates Foel Cae’rberllan and passes through the village of Abergynolwyn. You then walk along a valley with the Afon Dysynni hemmed in at its base before veering off above Coed Cae’r-berllan and approaching Castell y Bere, prominent on a rocky outcrop to your left. After visiting castles, you then make your return along the cwm of Nant-yr-eira, initially through woods and then along an open trackway.

This is an up and over route between two car parks in the Cadair Idris National Nature Reserve a range of mountains in the south of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. Walk along the south side of Cadair Idris on the ascent, and descend down its north side.

This Gwynedd walk is full of interest with a section across the hills, an historic chapel and a ruined castle. The final section is through a gorge. This is a surprisingly beautiful part of Snowdonia.

Leave Abergynolwyn Station and, after a short stretch of road, you are soon walking along a steep gorge defined by the Afon Dysynni, which squeezes through this narrow gap before reaching Dyffryn Dysynni, where it turns south-west and heads for the sea. A very quiet lane is then joined at Pont Ystumanner and this is followed for a short way to Llan llwyda, with the craggy hulk of Bird Rock directly ahead.

A hearty, hilly hike to the foot of Cader Idris, passing Llyn Gafr, Llyn-y-Gadair and Llyn Gwernan.

A walk on little-known paths through delightful wooded country between hidden farms and valleys.

A short stroll close to Dolgellau town centre, featuring a pretty riverside walk and a historic sacred well.

A superb viewpoint, a pretty lake and a level return through the marshes.

Along our adjacent rail trail and back via the scenic foothills of Cadair Idris.

Wooded hills behind the hotel, returning via the River Gwynant and Mawddach Trail.

Glorious mountain lakes in the shadow of Cadair, returning via the Gwynant valley.
