웨일즈‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산길

Rainbows on mountains tend to be a mixed blessing as they are a pretty sure sign that you are about to get wet! However from the photographers point of view they can also signal some great light, with sun mixed in with dark moody clouds. This was the view from near the summit of Cnicht - otherwise sometimes called the Welsh Matterhorn due to its pointy appearance from the village of Croesor. To the right of the picture is Moel Hebog which rises steeply above the pictuesque village of Beddgelert.

A fine rocky and in places narrow ridge, and you will often have it all to yourself!

Beautiful hike, too bad it was cloudy at the top. 12.3 km isn't the actual distance you'll be hiking: it's definitely 10 km more because you can't walk a straight line on this path. It's very busy on this trail; there's a queue to reach the top.

Crazy hiking all the way up and then seeing a train pass you on the final section!

Great climb, long but not too steep. Views are absolutely amazing !!!

As you descend to this section to the viewpoint I've shared, please be aware that you have rocks and drops to descend that can be slippery when they are wet.

Gap Road. This was the first track to enable horse-drawn carriages to cross the mountain range. It's thought to be a Roman road, although no archaeological evidence has been found as yet. Turn right onto the gap road and follow this route all the way back to the car park, and to your starting point.

Great piece of road with dramatic views, a speedy descent toward Llanberis
