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.
