This guidebook describes the Snowdonia Way in Wales, a long-distance
route through Snowdonia National Park from Machynlleth to Conwy. A
low-level route of 97 miles (in 6 stages of between 13 and 21 miles)
passes through the heart of Snowdonia’s stunning mountain scenery and
includes Pass of Aberglaslyn, Ogwen Valley and Aber Falls. It is
suitable for walkers of average fitness and stamina, though days are
long. An alternative mountain route covers 122 miles in 9 stages of
12–18 miles giving a spectacular journey over the most famous peaks such
as Cadair Idris, Snowdon and Glyders. The high-level route is more
physically challenging and requires good navigation skills.
Full route descriptions for each stage are accompanied by OS maps and
profiles. The guide also includes lists of accommodation and transport
providers and a table of facilities to help with itinerary planning.
Background notes on Snowdonia’s geology, wildlife and history and extra
information about features encountered along the way will help you
discover more about this ancient and beautiful land.
