Lon Las Ogwen

Reviewed By jammyjames60 - Cardiff, United Kingdom

Lon Las Ogwen offers wonderful views of the north Wales landscape as it climbs south from the coast at Porth Penrhyn in Bangor. Following the valley of Afon Cegin, the trail climbs on old railway cuttings through lovely woodland to Tregarth and into the mountains of Eryri.

Panorama Walk

Reviewed By Me_n_my_rucksack - Yorkshire, United Kingdom

On a gorgeous day this is a gorgeous walk.... I think you need to do a bit of research prior - download the routes to your phone or similar as if you are not fully aware of where you expect to go you may not pick up on some of the intersections which could be a little better marked. That said this is an excellent walk - not too remote or dangerous to take the whole family out on it, not too easy and dull to not bother about. When you get to the panoramic point the views are awesome.....

Rhaeadr Ddu and Coed Ganllwyd Walk

Reviewed By lovetrav_9 - Old Colwyn, United Kingdom

The entire walk is fairly demanding and takes about 3 hours to complete the 3.1/2 miles, but there are dramatic sights of the Rhaeadr Ddu Falls within a short distance of the start of the walk from the car park at the lovely friendly close-knit village of Ganllwyd. We would however recommend that care is taken, especially with children, as there are steep cliffs above the river and the walk can be quite slippery after rainfall, which is the time to see the falls at their best. It's a fantastic sight when the river is in flood. A substantial part of the walk is through a natural forest area, so views are limited at times but there are fine views of Coed y Brenin from the Garn Mountain later, making it really worth the effort.
