Guidebook includes 25 two- or three-day walks taking walkers into the most scenic and wild parts of Wales, from Snowdon, the Glyderau and Carneddau in the north, down to the Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons and Fforest Fawr ranges in the south, including the superb ridges of the Arans, Arenigs, Berwyns and Cadair Idris, the Cwmdeuddwr hills and Plynlimon.

Seasons

All year round.

Centres

Well, this guide is all about avoiding the centres... but the routes are spread throughout Wales, so if needed you can be based in many small towns and villages.

Difficulty

Long two- or three-day trips at over 40km plus summits and ridges, including wild camping and totally independent mountain travel.

Must See

Graceful ridges in Snowdonia and the north; wild moorland in the centre and southern half of Wales.

The mountains of Wales are a great place to get away from it all for a few days, and this book describes the very best backpacking routes throughout the principality. A total of 25 two- or three-day walks take you into the most scenic, beautiful and wild parts of Wales, each one with a night or more out among the mountains at wild camp sites, bothies or hostels.

The routes cover all the main mountain ranges, from Snowdon, the Glyderau and Carneddau in the north, down to the Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons and Fforest Fawr ranges in the south.

Everything in between is included too, such as the superb ridges of the Arans, Arenigs, Berwyns and Cadair Idris, and the bleak moorland vastness of the Cwmdeuddwr hills and Plynlimon.

Details of equipment, mountain safety and navigation as well as a bibliography make this a complete guide to backpacking in Wales.
