Snowdonia Short Walks Guidebook

by Terry Marsh
This lovely little full colour guide is the ideal companion for short walks in Snowdonia that can be enjoyed by al the family. Features include clear and easy-to-follow instructions; detailed Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 scale Explorer mapping with the route clearly highlighted, and specially commissioned photographs. There are twenty routes to choose from, colour coded by length and difficulty; green for easy; blue for modest length with some climbing and red for more challenging walks.

The walks cover the whole of Snowdonia National Park, from the rugged mountains of the North West to the south as far as Bala. Here there really is something for everyone, from charming green valleys and mature woodlands to craggy topknots and fast flowing rivers. Above the intake walls the terrain is often rugged and broken, a place where rocks predominate and the level of difficulty rises. But this is a place to be respected and admired, not feared. A landscape to be loved, enjoyed and shared.
