    Tips

    In terms of reputation, Llyn Bochlwyd plays second fiddle to the larger and more famous Llyn Idwal to the west. However, Bochlwyd has its own majestic charm, nestled beneath Glyder Fach's mighty main cliff and Tryfan's west face.

    The circuit of the ridges above the lake is one of the classic scrambling routes in the UK: the Bochlwyd Horseshoe. Taking in Tryfan's North and South Ridges, Glyder Fach's Bristly Ridge and the quieter Y Gribin, the route is an adventurous hiker's dream, rivalling the nearby Snowdon Horseshoe for sheer drama.

      Beneath the stony slopes of the Glyder Fach lies the beautiful Llyn Bochlwyd. Here you can take the time to enjoy the unique view of the surrounding mountains.
