Capel Garmon and the Conwy Walk
Starting from the tiny hamlet of Capel Garmon in this forgotten corner of Snowdonia, visiting the burial mound that gave the settlement it’s name and returning along the Afon Conwy. You can optionally pay to view some of the waterfalls en route if you don’t feel rather offended by the whole concept.
