Walks in the Hidden Heart of North Wales Guidebook

Walks in the Hidden Heart of North Wales Guidebook

by: David Berry
This guide provides twenty-two walks exploring the open moors and hills, valleys, lakes, woods and forests of a little known beautiful unspoilt upland area lying between the Vale of Clwyd and the Snowdonia National Park. Enjoy the peace and tranquillity of a timeless landscape, occupied by man since earliest times, steeped in history and folklore. Visit Bronze Age burial sites, Iron Age hillforts, a medieval castle site and ancient house. Marvel at the panoramic views.

Follow a network of old drovers' routes, ancient highways and former coaching roads. Enjoy the popular circuit of Llyn Brenig and the newly created Alwen Trail. Visit scattered ancient communities, including Cerrigydrudion and the attractive estate village of Pentrefoelas, both lying on an important drovers' route and the original 18th century London to Holyhead turnpike coach road.

The walks range from a 2.5 long mile archaeological trail to an exhilarating 10.5-mile moorland challenge linking three large lakes. The guide includes sketch maps with numbered cross references to the detailed route instructions.
