Discover Betws-y-Coed

Hidden in the Gwydyr Forest above Betws-y-Coed, Llyn Elsi is a glorious mountain lake that transports the viewer to a mystical landscape with the mountains of Snowdonia in the distance.

Setting off from St Mary’s Church, climb the trail to the lake through rich woodland. Although steep in some places, the views once you reach Llyn Elsi are incredible.

Experience superb views of Tryfan and the Glyderau mountains with a moderate hike up to the summits.

A National Trust route, enjoy the glittering waters of this impressive lake.

Sculpted from ice, Cwm Idwal is a bowl shaped hollow, home to the tranquil water of Llyn Idwal and is a moderately strenuous walk rewarded with dramatic views and panoramic scenery.

With fascinating rock formations and rare plant life, there is plenty to explore in this gem of Snowdonia.

One of the most famous and recognisable sights in the UK, this awe-inspiring mountain is the highest peak in England and Wales.

Choose from six different paths to conquer this 1,085 metre (3,560 feet) giant, each one taking roughly 6 to 8 hours so make sure you’ve packed your hiking boots!
