Route Map

The walk starts from the free parking area at The Arch which is approximately 2 miles south east of Devil's Bridge on the B4574

The Arch..............

....... and here is why it was built

Fudge leads the way as we head along the forest track into Coed y Cwn

Whilst forest tracks may appear a bit of a dull trudge to some this one was actually very easy on the feet

Come on Fudge - let's crack on lad

Pen Corbed across Nant Rhuddnant

To the north of Pen y Garn's summit is a line of wind machines - a necessary evil but I wish they would put them out at sea instead of here.

The summit of Pen y Garn
The summit just about qualifies as a Nuttall as it is measured at 2005ft

From Pen y Garn it is a short hop over pathless ground to rejoin the forest track

The route heads along the forest track to turn left just before the woods of Rhos Nantperfedd

The good path continues as we head down along a farm access track towards Bryn y Gwydd

Just follow the flock as we head towards the farm at Gelmast
