Came here on a cloudy day. Parking lot was full, so we left our car at Nant Peris (5£ all day) and took the bus here. A quick and easy ride.
There's a restaurant, a small shop, tourist information and a public toilet on site.
We travelled with our English Bulldog, so we took the easier "Miner's Track" and headed towards Llyn Teyrn and then Llyn Llydaw.
There weren't many visitors that day and made our small hike a very quiet and peacefull affair.
The views, even on a cloudy, foggy day, are spectacular. Coming around the bend and seeing the smaller Llyn Teyrn is just beautiful. And then the bigger Llyn Llydaw.
There's wildlife to be spotted as well. And just the breathtaking nature to take in. The trail is pretty easy, it's never really steep and pretty wide for a hiking trail. Our Bulldog managed just fine.
Even in summer it was pretty cool, weather can change quickly. T-Shirt, jacket and raincoat. All was needed withing a few hours. We didn't go all the way up to Snowdon - but you could. But bring enough food and drinks. There isn't really anything along the way. Which is good so.
Plenty of places to rest and enjoy the scenery on the way. If you don't mind to sit on the rocks and/or grass. We certainly didn't mind.
It's a very rewarding place to walk and hike. And the Miner's Track is really suitable for any walkers. We really enjoyed our time here. Another highlight of this years Road Trip through the UK. We will definitely be back. read more
