The Beddgelert Forest isn’t one of the MTB hubs of North Wales but still shouldn’t be ignored if you’re after an easier ride.
The Route A short ride with plenty of views of Snowdon, a stop at a lake for lunch (yes, I know it’s only a 10k ride, but one needs one’s pork pies and scotch eggs) and steady riding ideal for the beginner. Make sure you’ve a decent grasp of navigation or you’ll be going ’round in circles!
