Llyn Dinas is a large but shallow lake to the northeast of Beddgelert. The A498 road runs along its northern shore, while there are footpaths that explore its southern banks. Routes up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) from the mountain's southern side begin just to the northeast of the lake, including the Watkin Path, which is one of the most strenuous ways to the roof of Wales.

Hiking

The perfect place to take a break and enjoy the view of the lake and the surrounding mountains.

Running

Llyn Dinas is set in a stunning location in the Nantgwynant valley. Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) rises to the north, accessed from this side by the steep but enjoyable Watkin Path. To the south is the relatively quiet National Trust-managed Mynydd Llyndy. The Cambrian Way runs up the valley and the lakeside trail is a great run.
