About Llyn Crafnant Circuit
The river Crafnant rushes down from the lake at the start of this walk and a few yards further on there is one of the most breathtaking views in all Snowdonia. Looking from the foot of Llyn Crafnant towards the singular mountainscape of Crimpiau and Creigiau Gleision. Ideal in all seasons this family walk begins with a long level forest track, becoming more undulating as we approach the towering cliff of Craig Lwyd. After a short rocky descent to level, the views in all directions are delightful and an easy path takes us round the head of the lake. Returning we pass the Crafnant Cafe, which is open in summer.
How to get there:
Llyn Crafnant Circuit can be started from Llyn Crafnant in Gwydyr. Trefriw is the nearest town or village.
Directions:
You can reach the lake by car from Trefriw in the Conwy valley, though many visitors walk there from the village or from the neighbouring lake of Llyn Geirionnydd, which runs parallel to it, but a mile away. The two lakes are separated by Mynydd Deulyn – “mountain of the two lakes”. Walkers can also approach the lake from Capel Curig.
Take the B5106 from Conwy or Betws y Coed to Trefriw, then follow signs for Llyn Crafnant.
