リノギズ国立自然保護区でののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Steady, rocky climb through a majestic valley. A lot of the path follows the stream so can be wet and boggy. This is fairly challenging and better for more experienced walkers.

This is a wet and wild place, a deep pass between Rhinog Fawr and Rhinog Fach. The views are tremendous, and in most cases you will have the place to yourself.

As you struggle down towards the bwlch, you hit this nasty surprise. The wall is pretty big and the apparent way past it is through this hole! No, a person and a rucksack do not fit at the same time.

If you are walking from the west, this will be a blessed relief as the paths become clearer for a while.

Llyn Hywel is a wild and beautiful place cradled high between Rhinog fach and Y Llethr. It is famous for the huge slab that dives straight into the water on it's eastern side.

This the deep narrow pass between Rhinog Fach and Rhinog Fawr. This photo shows where the path down from Rhinog Fawr meets the path that cuts through the pass, and also the steep path up Rhinog Fach. Also note how rough it is.

This little lake is not far above the pass of Bwlch Drws Ardudwy, and gives great views towards Rhinog Fawr.

The Rhinogs are rightly recognised as being the roughest hills in Wales, so any ascent should bear that in mind. The easiest and clearest route is from the East, starting from the small car park at the end of the lane off the A470. This route is easy to follow and relatively easy to walk. The routes from the west include very difficult walking and few paths.
