Llyn Cwmhosan

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Fairly steep at first but manageable, good undergrowth to hold onto! Then eases off and takes you up to a small lake, good spot for your picnic.

Drws Ardudwy Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This is a wet and wild place, a deep pass between Rhinog Fawr and Rhinog Fach. The views are tremendous, and in most cases you will have the place to yourself.

August 7, 2023,A walk in the shadows of Rhinog Fach and Rhinog Fawr, beautiful!

Good clear path throughout, sometimes narrow and sometimes boggy but not a tricky one to navigate, beautiful scenary and lovely heather if you're there at the right time of year.
