Slate Valleys Path – Tregarth and Moel Lyci

Setting off from a layby near Mynydd Llandygai, the walk takes you through the forests on the flanks of Moel Lleuci (aka Moel y Ci or Moelyci). Returning via farmland paths, the main feature is the views over the Fenai and Bangor towards Ynys Mon (Anglesey).

This can be extended by joining up with the Slate Valley Path Bethesda and Sling if a longer route is required.
