Overview

 Here is a different walk for you to enjoy! From our start point we will walk over Drysgol Fawr and Parc Drysgol from where we will have magnificent views over the high mountains of northern Eryri. We will continue to the telecommunications mast above Llyn Padarn on interesting paths you probably haven`t walked before to Pen y Bigil. From there we will make our way back to the start point.
