North Wales is one of the most popular walking destinations in the UK!

On offer are mountain peaks, lush valleys, waterfalls, echoes of the area’s industrial past and views of the coast from high ground.

Many of the well known paths and routes - especially up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) itself - can become very busy.

So here are some less popular but no less rewarding alternative walks that we have enjoyed ourselves and recommend!

All are not far from us at Crafnant House, our B&B in the village of Trefriw.
