The physical background, the geology and landforms, the flora and fauna are so interesting within the Snowdonia National Park, that walking in North Wales seems such an obvious choice during your stay at Tan-y-Foel Country House.

Lower level all-weather walks provide an ideal alternative when the mountains are shrouded in mist or white with snow.

From Tan-y-Foel Country House to Capel Garmon and the Neolithic Tomb, an easy and pleasant walk on a rolling plateau to the east of the Conwy, where, unimpeded by trees, you can enjoy wide views of Snowdonia.

From Betws-y-Coed you can explore Conwy Gorge, Fairy Glen, Conwy Falls and the Machno Falls, following one of the loveliest stretches of water in the district as Afon Conwy falls over a series of rapids and waterfalls to the pool below Beaver Bridge.

From Trefriw walk to Llyn Crafnant and Llyn Geirionydd, hidden in the hills two of the loveliest Snowdonia lakes.

From Beddgelert follow Gelert's Grave Walk, discover the popular legend about Prince Llywelyn and his wolfhound, Gelert.

Alternatively, coastal walking can be discovered with the Great Orme as you head out east from the main Snowdonian peaks, visiting a limestone headland thrusting out into the sea from the Victorian seaside resort of Llandudno.

Higher level walking for those that seek more adventure can be found in the mountains of Snowdonia, the sharp angular peaks of Snowdon, where once at
the summit, on clears days, The Lake District, the Isle of Man and the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland can be seen. An equally exhilarating alternative may include The Glyders or Cadair Idris.
