Mountain Walking Snowdonia

40 of the finest routes in Snowdonia

A collection of Snowdonia's best year-round mountain walks, from scrambles up Wale's highest mountains to sheltered riverside and forest walks. This book contains 38 single-day walks, plus details of a two-day traverse of all Snowdonia's 3000ft peaks.

The astonishing variety within these mountains ranges from the Carneddau in the north, which at first glance seem to be mainly grassy hills but are not without drama, to the sharp crests and ridges of Snowdon and Tryfan which will challenge ambitious walkers and scramblers.

The walkers are based around the following areas: The Carneddau, the Glyderau, Betws-y-Coed, Snowdon, Eifionedd, Siabod and the Moelwyns, the Rhinogs, Bala, Dolgellau, Cadair Idris and the South.

Includes details of travel and transport, including narrow gauge railways and local buses.
