B+ Walk from Rhyd-Ddu

Leader: Beverley Kelly
Distance: 10miles
Total Ascent:2700ft

This is a possible walk if required starting at the Welsh Highland Railway Station of Rhyd-Ddu and follows the Snowden path from there on a steady climb to meet the Watkins Path at some mine workings. From here there is a steady descent past more mine workings and some lovely waterfalls, through some woods until we reach the road at Bethania.
After a short distance on the road it is over a bridge to a footpath leading to the south side of Llyn Dinas.
At this point we will either take the easy, shorter route back to Beddgellert alongside the river, or as follows. I will make the decision before we leave.
Leaving the lake there is another climb to reach the pathway of Cwm Bychan and some splendid views once again before dropping down to Nantmoor and a level walk to Beddgellert, refreshments and the coach home.
This is a varied walk with some effort which is well worth it.
