BSC2022: Llanwrst to Betws-y-Coed Walk (Saturday 10.30am)
30 people attending
0 places left
This is one of the events organised as part of Big Spring Camp 2022.
We start off from the camp, go through the Gwydyr Forest to the reservoir at Llyn-y-Parc (before descending into Betws-y-Coed - via the lower stages of Swallow Falls).
The town is great for a quick shop, a pint or a cream tea at the train station. We then begin our return via the viewpoint at Nant Uchaf which will require a short and steady bit of a climb but it will be well worth the views of the Conwy Valley.
We descend back to the campsite via the awesome Grey Mares Tail waterfall for some photos before arriving back.
