Walking

There are hundreds of footpaths criss crossing the ancient, varied and unspoiled landscape of this part of Wales, with walks to suit all tastes and abilities. Many of these paths are seldom used and are the perfect way to “get away from it all” and enjoy the solitude of nature. The terrain ranges from lowland mixed pasture and ancient woodland, to rougher terrain over upland moors. Many feature ruins of ancient earthworks and sites of historical interest.
Southern Snowdonia is only just over 20 miles way and is the gateway to some of the best mountain walking in the UK. Meanwhile the Cambrian mountains should not be overlooked either.
