Aberglaslyn - National Trust

Walking and Hiking Trails

If you love to immerse yourself in nature and explore the great outdoors, you'll be glad to know that there are plenty of hiking trails to choose from. The Aberglaslyn and Beddgelert Circular is a popular trail, taking you through the heart of ancient woodland and along the picturesque banks of the Glaslyn River.

You’ll follow the fisherman’s path which runs adjacent to the Ffestiniog Railway as you path through the Aberglaslyn gorge. Along the way there are plenty of photo opportunities and benches to pause and take in the surroundings! Once you get to Beddgelert, stop at one of the tearooms to sample some tasty treats before continuing your journey. The Aberglasglyn Circular is a tricky hike best suited to experienced hikers.

The Aberglaslyn Pass Trail is another stunning walk that takes you through a narrow gorge, past cascading waterfalls, and along the banks of the River Glaslyn. Midway you’ll reach Llyn Dina’s - a magnificent lake with stunning views and plenty of spots for a picnic on the shoreline. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife along the route - otters and kingfishers have both been spotted here!
