DEPART FROM THE SCHOOL HOUSE CAFE AT APPROX 11.15AM
We cross over the Car Park and then follow the course of the River Dee down to the lake and continue to follow the edge of the lake at the NW corner, then walk along the path between the lake on your left and the A494 on your right.
200 yds past the picnic site at Llanycill we cross the road and proceed up the fim track over a cattle grid. We travel through woodland over stiles to Penlan Farm where we take a track past the farm buildings. On the other side of the farm we follow a Moorland Track. Our next objective is the farm called Hendre Ddhu, crossing a meadow to reach a firm track that takes us up to the farm.
The next and most interesting objective are the caves at Craig-y-Fron overlooking the town. We can then descend down to the High St past the Bala Town FC on the right. We can break off at this point and shop or find a tea shop or Pub.
IMPORTANT: Because of all the rain that has fallen, the walk in parts is wet and boggy, and care must be taken, especially along the moorland path and beyond.
If you have gaiters, then bring them!
