Overview

The isolated little ridge of Y Gamallt rises from a sea of damp moor-grass and heather, with the two lakes of Llynnau Gamallt lying beneath its westward facing cliffs. Although it’s not a lofty ridge, it offers all the rewards of many more demanding mountain walks - remoteness, solitude and wonderful views. We set out past Llyn Morwynion and head up through the remote valley of the Afon Gamallt. A short stretch across marshy moorland leads us on to a narrow path winding its way around heathery crags along the ridge of Graig Goch, with views of the twin lakes below. Descending from the ridge, we next head for the prominent top of Y Garnedd and thence back to the start.
