The first part of the Watkin trail ascends gradually. A good start.

This part of the Watkinpad that takes you to the Watkinpools is actually easy to do. It is a pleasant walk and already offers some beautiful views.

A steep route up the southern slopes of Yr Wyddfa beginning at Nant Gwynant

The Watkin Path is one of the six main routes to the summit of Yr Wyddfa. Beginning at a little over sea level, it ascends steeply up the southern slopes of the Yr Wyddfa massif, crossing loose scree before eventually joining the Rhyd Ddu Path to the summit.

Reaching the summit of Yr Wyddfa is a challenging undertaking. The Snowdonia National Park Authority classifies all of the routes up Yr Wyddfa as hard, strenuous routes. A good level of fitness is required, and navigation skills are essential.

The Watkin Path is a particularly challenging route to the summit of Yr Wyddfa. Walkers considering their first hike up Yr Wyddfa might benefit from trying alternative paths.
