Snowdonia North - 30 Low Level and Easy Walks Cicerone Guidebook

author: Alex Kendall
Snowdonia National Park is a land of mountains and deep wooded valleys, of rivers and sparkling lakes, and a spectacular coastline. It is also a landscape made by humans, where ancient castles stand beside cosy pubs and where hundreds of years of sheep farming and slate quarrying have left their mark.

This guidebook describes 30 low level and easy walks designed for seeing the stunning lowlands of Snowdonia rather than ascending to the peaks. Here you'll find wildlife in the woods, myths of old Wales in the valleys and discover the sweeping views, sandy beaches and hidden paths that are a true insider's secret. The routes are suitable for all abilities. The hikes covered are in the northern part of Snowdonia National Park, close to Conwy, Betws-y-Coed, Llanberis and Porthmadog. Most of the walks take around 2 hours, with others ranging from 2 to 6 hours.
.
Each walk has an accompanying Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 or 1:50,000 map showing the route, easy-to-follow route descriptions and information on distance, time, ascent, refreshments and where to park. The guide also includes more general advice on walking in the area, historical information, and facts about the points of interest seen on each walk.
In this part of Wales, neolithic settlements and Roman ruins stand beside the medieval castles of Welsh Princesses and the modern remnants of the mining industry. Myths and legends abound, and many walks relate to the stories of King Arthur and Merlin, Anfanc and Welsh fairies.
