The Devil’s Kitchen, known in Welsh as Twll Du ("Black Hole"), is a massive, dark crack in the basaltic cliffs of Clogwyn y Geifr, towering over the southern end of Llyn Idwal. Why the Name? It earned its English nickname because of the plumes of mist or steam that frequently rise from the chasm. To early observers, this looked like smoke rising from a chimney, leading to the legend that the Devil was busy cooking inside. The Experience The Path: A steep, rocky "staircase" of boulders leads you from the lake shore up toward the Kitchen. It is a strenuous climb that requires sure-footedness, as the ancient rock is often wet and slippery. The Scenery: As you ascend, you pass the Devil’s Appendix (the waterfall mentioned earlier) and gain incredible views back over the Cwm Idwal "amphitheatre." Geology: The area is a world-class geological site. You can see the Idwal Syncline here—a dramatic U-shaped fold in the rock layers caused by tectonic pressure millions of years ago. Botanical Rarety: The humid, sheltered environment of the Kitchen is one of the few places in the UK where rare arctic-alpine plants, like the Snowdon Lily, have survived since the last Ice Age. Once you reach the top of the Kitchen, the landscape flattens out into a high plateau containing the small, eerie lake of Llyn y Cŵn.

Llyn Idwal is a stunning glacial lake nestled in the Glyderau mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia), North Wales. Designated as Wales’ first National Nature Reserve, its dramatic landscape was famously studied by Charles Darwin to prove glacial action. Legend says the lake is named after a drowned prince and that birds refuse to fly over its crystal-clear waters.

Idwal Gorge is a dramatic, steep-sided ravine located above Llyn Idwal in Eryri (Snowdonia). Known for the Idwal Staircase, it offers a challenging "Grade 2" scramble through mossy, water-worn rock and hidden cascades. In winter, it is a premier destination for ice climbers. Carved by glacial meltwater, this rugged cleft provides a raw encounter with the powerful geological forces that sculpted the iconic Ogwen Valley landscape.

A wonderful spiky summit with fine views to Yr Wyddfa and into Ogwen Valley. The summit itself is a scramble over very large jumbled boulders.

Y Garn is a fine hill, usually climbed from Ogwen Valley by it's West ridge, or as part of the walk along the Glyders range between Elidir Fawr and the Glyders themselves. There is however another way up, the East Ridge, which is a Grade 2 scramble and starts from Llyn Idwal.

A wonderful isolated peak with fine views.

Moel Siabod is a terrific viewpoint as it is isolated from the other main peaks of Eryri. On the day I climbed it I was fortunate to experience an inversion, where the clouds form a layer below the summit.

Nice

The Daear Ddu Ridge is an enjoyable grade 1 scramble up the south-eastern ridge of Moel Siabod in Eryri's (Snowdonia) Moelwynion range. It's easily escapable via the path on the left of the ridge.

After the rest stop at Llyn Y Cwn we descend and pass the Devil's Kitchen (Twll Du) again. The descent is as strenuous as the climb. The path, as far as can be seen, is quite steep in places. Then it becomes a matter of paying attention, scrambling and searching for the next section of the path. This is not such an easy part of the route. You have to use your hands and feet to conquer the steepest parts.

Take some time to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere at this small mountain lake Llyn Y Cwn (Welsh for Lake of the Dogs). The peak of Y Garn rises to the north and Glyder Fawr looms to the south-east. You really are in the mountains here!

Two paths lead from opposite sides of the lake to the top of the ridge near Twll Du (Devil's Kitchen). These paths become quite steep in places and have disappeared in a few places. Then it is a matter of paying attention, scrambling and searching for the next section of path. This is not an easy part of the route. You have to use your hands and feet to negotiate the steepest parts. A wall with a stepladder marks the top.

Llyn Idwal is a lake (approximately 800 by 300 metres, or 28 hectares) in Cwm Idwal in the Glyderau Mountains of Snowdonia. On the north-western edge of Llyn Idwal is a small pebble beach, which is occasionally used by visitors for recreation. Swimming is not permitted as it is in a nature reserve.

Here you have a great view of Tryfan, a mountain in the Ogwen Valley in Snowdonia. It is part of the Glyderau Group and is one of the most recognisable peaks in Britain, with a classic pointed shape and rugged rocks. At 917.5 metres above sea level, it is the fifteenth highest mountain in Wales. (Wikipedia)

The view of Llyn Idwal is beautiful from this spot.

Straight ahead over the bridge is the path to Cwm Idwal, but take time to see the waterfall and rapids on the River Idwal. Very pretty.

There are fantastic views of Snowdonia from the top of Moel Siabod, but the weather must be clear. From the top it is possible to see 13 of the 14 highest peaks in Wales on a clear day without turning your head.
