Starting from Betws-y-Coed, the first part of the walk is along country lanes in the beautiful Lledr Valley as far as Cethin's Bridge (1 hour).

The steep climb then begins (approx 45 mins) through the wood to reach Llyn Elsi Reservoir with wonderful views over Snowdonia
.

From Llyn Elsi the walk is over rolling countryside to the abandoned village of Rhiwddolion on the Roman road of Sarn Helen, before descending to the Miners Bridge (A5) from where we follow the riverside path back to Betws.


A varied walk, lovely views, with one steep climb on a path to be walked with care.
