To the south of the Clwydian Range lies the Berwyn hills, which fall neither in the Snowdonia National Park or the Clwydian Range AONB. This is a walk to the highest summit from Llandrillo.

The Clwydian hills are probably one of the best kept secrets in North Wales. There are many walking routes in the area, this is one from the official Clwydian AONB site.

This walking route up Arenig Fach in central Snowdonia is ideal if you want to get away from the madding crowds of Eryri. Beware that the terrain up Arenig Fach is one of the wildest and pathless parts of Snowdonia. Even the notorious Rhinogydd have better paths. Here you’ll find very few traces of previous

This is the easiest route up Helvellyn from Patterdale and Glenridding way as it avoids both Striding Edge and Swirall Edge, taking instead the “Pony Path” up via Keppel Cove to ascend Hevellyn via Whiteside and Helvellyn Lower Man. The route then continues over the peaks of Nethermost Pike and Dollywaggon Pike to return via Grisedale.

Originally posted on the Walk Eryri Blog a few years back and the images are rather poor as taken with a mobile. This was my second day in Loch Ossian YH with an ascent of Leum Uilleim. The next day saw much the same sort of weather as yesterday. Rain and wind, with very little sun

This route originally appeared on the Walk Eryri Blog a few years ago. The weather forecast had been eagerly anticipated the previous night and it shaped the next day ‘s walk as it was anticipating not just foul weather, I can cope with that, but lightning. That I don‘t really fancy. So Carn Dearg and a couple

Carn Dearg from Corrour Station – originally posted on the Walk Eryri Blog a few years back. Arriving on the sleeper at Corrour, i had managed to sleep much better this time thank you. An easy walk was all i wanted though, and the easiest walk left was that up Carn Dearg (and Sgorr Gailbhre). I

Despite the proximity of the much busier Cadair Idris, these are rarely walked hills, though anyone who’s been along the A470 will have been impressed with the aspect they display to the drivers. The experience for the walker though, is rather more sedate, being a bimbly walk with no real difficulties over a terrain that’s

Aran Fawddwy is the highest mountain south of Snowdon and the highest summit in South Snowdonia, yet this is a largely ignored hill. It is barely 10m below the magic mark of 914m and often overlooked in favour of its less lofty, but more spectacular neighbour Cader Idris. Fortunately, this means that a walk up

Cwm Bychan is one of the more remote areas of Snowdonia. There’s just a narrow, unclassified road leading up to the cwm and no through route. In summer it’s a beautifully wooded valley, but today the lake was frozen over and the place felt like winter. There’s parking noted on the OS map, and it

Arenig Fawr stands almost alone, dominating the landscape around it. There’s an easier route up, but this one is slightly off path! It is a contrasting route that starts off too easily along an old quarry track, but as soon as it finishes, you’re largely on your own. A short, unpleasant, section uphill on boulders
