Walking in North Wales

Walking in North Wales Walking in Snowdonia. In true Welsh fashion you'll have a song in your heart as you set foot into the Conwy Valley to enjoy the walks detailed here.

Sublime mountain views, forest paths, lakeside trails, neolithic settlements, tumbling waterfalls. each carefully detailed walk contains its own wealth of delights.

Fresh air. Open spaces. Four walking regions. Hundreds of miles of paths and trails.

No wonder walkers love to visit North Wales. They come here to find themselves (or lose themselves) in our great outdoors. But sometimes you have to walk – just because there’s no road.

So, first things first: where do you want to go?

Snowdonia Mountains and Coast has a whopping 142 miles of coastal walks all told. And you can notch up long-distance miles with a walk out to sea on the The Edge of Wales Path (don’t worry, there’s a boat). Inland there are 100 big lakes to discover. 840 square miles of National Park. 90 different mountains. And no fewer than six different walks to the top of the highest one in England and Wales, Mount Snowdon.
