Get closer to nature
In the summer, the footpath could be mistaken for a ‘yellow brick road’, as golden glints of bog asphodel line the way. Weave amongst young stands of regenerating woodland and listen out for the poignant calls of warblers bustling in the birch trees.
Livestock
You’re also likely to glimpse a Welsh Black cow or two grazing along the shores near Llyndy Isaf, home to our farming scholarship. Please remember to close gates and keep your dogs on a lead.
Access and parking
Please note that there is no parking close to the path. The path can be accessed from nearby Bethania car park (a P&D car park, popular with walkers hiking up Snowdon) or laybys along the lake, but will involve traveling along part of or crossing the A498.
The path can also be accessed from Beddgelert village by walking along quieter county lanes and an uneven path along the river, this section is not suitable for wheelchairs, trampers or prams.
