Llyn Elsi

Reviewed By Exploration791561

There are so many routes up it's well worth consulting a map first, some of the lesser known paths are very interesting and take you on a magical mystery tour through the depths of the forest. It's more short Sunday afternoon stroll territory than a full on hike, anyone of reasonable fitness should find it moderately easy. It's part of the vast Gwydir forest which is a mecca for trail running and has hosted the World Mountain Running Champs and Ultra Trail Running Champs in recent years. I walk and run up here regularly as I live just down the road in Colwyn Bay, it never gets old.

Fairy Glen

This deep gorge is surrounded by a seemingly endless expanse of scenic beauty.

Reviewed By alicat22

Visited here many times and recently a week ago. We had a very pleasant 20min conversation with the owners. They have an honesty box and at £1 per person, 50p for children £1 for a car is excellent value to see a beautiful scenic place. There is a small car park but have never had a problem on the many occasions we've visited. Circular walk which takes you along part of the river, with a divert down some uneven steep steps to the Gorge but so worth it. There were adults with young children so depends on how confident you are taking them down there. Plenty of rocks to clamber over! Very tranquil and lives up to its name 'fairy glen'. Lovely picnic site by the river. Owners have always been chatty and also run a b&b. 5 mins drive to Betws-y-Coed. We always call at the Glen on the way to Llandudno via the A5. Well worth a visit for the price.
