Aberglaslyn Gorge and Cwm Bychan, Snowdonia Map

This stunning round hike takes in some of Snowdonia’s most stunning scenery, from the placid waters of Llyn Dinas to the spectacular Aberglaslyn Gorge with the turbulent Glaslyn River raging alongside the path.

Description

You’ll pass the rusting pulley systems of the old copper mine working of Sygun and Cwm Bychan. Plus, you will get a broad view of Yr Aran, Lliwedd, Siabod and Snowdon on your descent – if the weather’s fair.

Back in Beddgelert, celebrate your completed walk with a pint of real ale at the Tanronnen Inn.
