About this place

Up past Llyn Idwal into Cwm Idwal, then the steep climb onto Y Garn and down by the Devil's Kitchen path. A proper mountain day on rocky ground. If the weather is in, the shorter Llyn Idwal loop from the same car park is the fallback.

Good to know

Terrain
Rocky mountain path, pitched stone, some scrambly bits
Parking
Ogwen Cottage car park, pay and display, full by early morning. Lay-bys along the A5 as overflow.
