Overview

This is a walk for the lover of wild, open mountain places with wonderful views, where other walkers are seldom encountered. The route climbs through fields and moorland to the ridge of rough hills at the head of the Lledr Valley. On the way we pass the lake of Llyn Llagi, nestling beneath steep cliffs, with the path continuing to climb more steeply to a second lake, Llyn yr Adar. From here there are excellent views of Cnicht's long ridge. Heading across open, grassy moorland we gain the ridge and turn to the north to walk along it, over Ysgafell Wen (650m) and on to Llyn Edno. The terrain here is rough, with rocky, heather covered outcrops and it is invariably wet in places! Moel Meirch rises just beyond the lake, and it is only a short there-and-back climb up the rocky hillside to the top. Our descent is through the quiet and wild-feeling Cwm Llynedno, eventually reaching fields and woodland for the final return to the lane.
