A guidebook to 30 low-level and easy day walks in the northern part of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park in Wales. All circular except for Walk 25, which makes use of the railway link between Porthmadog and Blaeneau Ffestiniog, the routes vary in length and terrain ensuring that there is something for walkers of all levels of fitness and experience.
The walks range from 4–22km (2–14 miles) in length and can be enjoyed in 2–7 hours, although most are at the shorter end of the scale. They are arranged geographically into 4 areas: the north coast and the lower Conwy valley, Betws y Coed and Gwydyr forest, Snowdon and the Ogwen valley, and the Vale of Ffestiniog and the west.
