Eryri (Snowdonia)

Eryri offers an array of exceptional trails that showcase the very best of this picturesque part of Wales.

There are several local circular walks you can take, including The Precipice, The Panorama, and The Torrent walks – their names speak for themselves!

Whether you’re up for the challenge of scaling the mighty Cadair Idris that sits above us, following the Mawddach Trail, climbing Yr Wyddfa (the highest mountain in England and Wales), or prefer a more relaxed amble along the enchanting coastal paths, the region promises awe-inspiring vistas and a medley of captivating landscapes.

If you’re visiting us here at Penmaenuchaf and want to explore on foot, chat to our friendly reception team, who can definitely give you a few tip to help you plan a route.

While Cadair Idris sits high above Dolgellau, and the mountain range dominates the views for miles around, there’s so much more to our beautiful little town than the majestic mountain perched above.

Dolgellau is a short stroll down the hill and along the Mawddach Estuary from Penmaenuchaf, and is now a thriving destination, bustling with independent shops, cafes and pubs. It has more listed buildings than any other town in Wales, with over 200 on the urban conservation list.

As you wander along the narrow streets or take a seat in one of the squares, soak up the surroundings and see if you can spot signs of the town’s past as a regional centre for the Welsh woollen industry – like high up doors and pulley systems. Keep an eye out in particular for the small round windows at the top of buildings, as these were said to be hidden meeting houses for the Quakers.
