Publisher's Synopsis
Twenty one walks exploring the open moors and hills, valleys, lakes, woods and forests of a little known, beautiful, unspoilt upland area lying between the Vale of Clwyd and the Snowdonia National Park.
Enjoy the peace and tranquility of a timeless landscape, occupied by man since earliest times, steeped in history and folklore. Visit Bronze Age burial sites, Iron-Age hillforts, a medieval castle site and ancient house. Marvel at the panoramic views.
Follow a network of old drovers routes, ancient highways and former coaching roads. Enjoy the popular circuit of Llyn Brenig and the newly created Alwen Trail. Visit scattered ancient communities, including Cerrigydrudion and the attractive estate village of Pentrefoelas, both lying on an important drovers route and the original 18thC London-Holyhead turnpike coach road.
The walks range from a short archaeological trail to an exhilarating 10 mile moorland challenge linking three large lakes.
