Embark on a challenging jogging route through the heart of Snowdonia National Park with the Aberglaslyn, Llyn Dinas and Cwm Bychan Walk. This difficult 11.0 miles (17.7 km) journey takes you through the dramatic Aberglaslyn gorge, where the Glaslyn river carves its way alongside a narrow fisherman's path. You will gain 1877 feet (572 metres) of elevation over an estimated 2 hours and 7 minutes, passing the serene glacial waters of Llyn Dinas, perfect for a refreshing dip on a warm day. Expect to traverse ancient woodlands and enjoy expansive mountain views as you push your limits on this demanding trail.
Planning your visit requires careful consideration; this route demands good navigation skills and significant care, particularly along the gorge. While listed for jogging, its challenging terrain is often more suited for experienced country walkers with a high level of fitness. Be aware that during colder months, the path can become icy, and high river levels might make certain sections impassable. You can typically find parking in the Beddgelert area, which serves as a convenient starting point for your adventure.
Beyond the natural beauty, this trail offers glimpses into the area's rich industrial past, with remnants of old copper mine workings scattered along the way. The diverse scenery, from the powerful river in the gorge to the tranquil lake and mountain vistas, makes this route a standout experience in Snowdonia. It's a journey that combines physical exertion with historical intrigue and stunning natural landscapes, providing a memorable outing for those seeking a true challenge.
