| 'A' Walk approx Route ( clockwise) |
From Trefriw we start with a steep climb of about 100 m out of the village and then contour through Coed y Gwmannog and southwards via Penrallt to Llyn Geirionydd. Following an uneven path on the western side of the lake we reach Ty-newydd and then start to ascend into the foothills of the Carneddau, heading across undulating ground with a network of paths (some boggy) for the prominent peak of Crimpiau. If the weather is clear we should have fabulous views from here of Moel Siabod, the Snowdon range and Tryfan and the Glyders. If we are making good time we could make an ascent of the next peak on the ridge, Craig Wen (an additional kilometre of distance and 160 m of ascent), for further views of the Ogwen valley and Carnedd Dafydd, before returning to the col, from where our descent takes us to Llyn Crafnant. An easy walk along a track on the NW side of the lake brings us to the valley road near the Taliesin monument. After about a mile on the road we cross the valley and rise slightly back into the trees of Coed y Gwmannog, then follow a lower path than this morning’s back into Trefriw.
