Snowdonia: 30 Low-level and Easy Walks - North : Snowdon, the Ogwen and Conwy Valleys and the coast

From the Ogwen and Conwy Valleys to the Gwydyr Forest and the Vale of Ffestiniog, this region provides low-level walking opportunities suitable for walkers of all abilities.

This guidebook presents 30 low-level routes, most circular, ranging from 4–22 km (2–14 miles) and taking 1–7 hours to complete. Designed for walkers seeking manageable terrain, the routes cover areas including the north coast, lower Conwy Valley, Betws-y-Coed, Gwydyr Forest, Snowdon and the Ogwen Valley, and the Vale of Ffestiniog. Each walk includes clear step-by-step route descriptions and 1:25,000 or 1:50,000 Ordnance Survey maps to make navigating Snowdonia simple and confident. Information on terrain, access, and local facilities—such as parking and refreshments in key locations including Conwy, Tal-y-bont and Porthmadog—is provided throughout.

Discover the rich history, geology and wildlife of northern Snowdonia, from the rivers and valleys of Conwy in spring to the wooded slopes and mountains of the Ogwen Valley in autumn. Downloadable GPX files are available as an additional digital navigation option as you explore. Northern Snowdonia's diverse landscapes—from coastal paths and wooded valleys to riverside trails and glacial landforms—reveal something new at every turn, making every walk a worthwhile experience, no matter the season. Part of a two-part volume set, an accompanying guidebook covering South Snowdonia is also available to extend your exploration of Wales' most iconic national park.
