PWNW21: Ysbyty Ifan

1 hour 30 mins: 2 miles (3.5 km)

This is a lovely walk onto the moorland to the north of Ysbyty Ifan, located in a very quiet part of the Snowdonia National Park.  You’re almost guaranteed a quiet walk with wide views across the surrounding moors on a clear day. It's a real off-roader, and the going is occasionally rough, with rocky tracks and grassy paths connecting quiet country lanes, and there is a steep ascent at the start.

PWNW6: Vaynol Estate, Bangor

1 hr 15 mins: 2.5 miles (4 km)

This is a lovely walk around the Vaynol Estate, across open parkland of and through woodland with views across the Straits.  The stile can easily be avoided to give you a slightly shorter, but still lovely, walk.  Wellies are advisable in winter as it gets very muddy. Please note that dogs must be kept on a lead and livestock must not be disturbed. 

PWNW29: Lon Eifion and Y Foryd, Caernarfon

2 hrs: 4.5 miles (7.5 km)

This walk begins along Lon Eifion, one of several recreational routes in Gwynedd, which, at its start, follows the Welsh Highland Railway south from Caernarfon before heading cross-country to meet the Menai Straits.  The route is easy terrain and this is a long walk which is suitable for small babies in pushchairs.  This walk can also be done from the Welsh Highland Railway.

PWNW14: Porth Dinllaen

1 hr 45 mins: 3 miles (5 km)

The pretty village of Porth Dinllaen on the Lleyn’s west coast is protected by the National Trust and with its beach and pub makes the perfect place to visit on a summer’s day. This is a lovely walk along good paths with sea views and a great beach. So relax and spend some time splashing in the sea during your walk.

PWNW16: Mynydd Rhiw, Aberdaron

2 hrs: 3.5 miles (5.5 km)

Mynydd Rhiw is a long, humped hill between Aberdaron and Abersoch.  It lies at the western end of Hell’s Mouth (Porth Neigwl), a vast sandy beach popular with surfers.  On a clear day the views from all sides are stunning – across Hell’s Mouth to Abersoch and the mountains of Snowdonia beyond, and north to Anglesey, the Isle of Man and even the Lake District and Ireland.  This walk aims to make the most of these views, but is also very atmospheric on a foggy day!  The track across the mountain is good, but there is a lot of up-hill pushing to be done.

PWNW17: Mynydd y Gwyddel, Aberdaron

1 hr: 1.5 miles (2.5km)

Stroll along grassy and rocky paths past ancient remains and up to the top of Mynydd-y-Gwyddel at the Land’s End of Wales – the toe of the Lleyn Peninsula.  There are fantastic views across Bardsey Sound and along the Lleyn coast towards Aberdaron.  This is a fantastic, peaceful place for relaxing, playing and picnicking!

PWNW30: Penmon Point and Priory, Beaumaris

1 hr 15 mins Distance: 2 miles (3 km)

Single ATPs only.

PWNW26: Penrhyn Mawr, Trearddur

1 hr 30 mins: 3 miles (4 km)

This is a nice easy walk following gentle grassy paths along this remote headland.  There are great views of the rocky coastline with deep-cut inlets known as zawns. Across the sea you can see South Stack lighthouse and the Lleyn Peninsular on a clear day. If you can make it here for early evening then you will find that it is the perfect place from which to watch the sunset.  This walk has unprotected cliffs.  However, there are plenty of grassy areas for picnics and games!
