Hike The Carnedds

Book Trip
From £215.00 per person

2 days away, 2 days hiking

Group Size: 1-8

,

Hike the lesser trodden region of Snowdonia, reaching the summit of the second highest peak in England & Wales: Carnedd Llewelyn.  At 1,065m high, it stands just 20m lower than Snowdon but, with a tiny fraction of the foot traffic, you’re unlikely to meet anyone up there.

A weekend of medium-level hiking in Snowdonia National Park – Ideal for anyone that wants a relaxing weekend with good company and beautiful scenery…

On the first day you will hike much of the Carnedd Range (the highest plateau in England & Wales), reaching the summit of Pen yr Ole Wen, Carnedd Dafydd and Carnedd Llewelyn.

We will end the day comparing photos and stories in a local pub.

Day-2 will be much more relaxed, to stretch the legs, as you are lead to the summit of Crimpiau: A small peak at the end of the Carneddau with one of the best viewpoints in Snowdonia.

“Enjoy, not Endure!”

The purpose of this trip is to provide an enjoyable and relaxing experience in the mountains. It’s not about testing your strength and endurance.

This trip has been arranged for people with no/little experience of the mountains, however it is open for anyone of any ability that just wants to enjoy the mountains.

We will sort out the train travel, road transfers, accommodation and food – You just need to turn up at the meeting point and enjoy 🙂

You don’t need to have any prior experience and the small group size will enable us to give you our full attention throughout the weekend, ensuring your safety and enjoyment is our number one priority.

Itinerary

  • Meet at the train station and take a leisurely journey to North Wales. You will be met by your guide and driven the short distance to the hostel accommodation in the heart of Snowdonia National Park.

  • After a day/trip briefing you will head out to the hills.
  • We will hike up to the Carneddau plateau and along to Carnedd Llewelyn, the second highest peak in England & Wales.
  • You will return to the accommodation via a different route than you took on the way up for showers and a change of clothes before heading to a local pub for dinner.

  • After checking out of the accommodation, you will take an easy hike off the beaten track, through beautiful valleys and to viewpoints on the summit of Crimpiau.
  • You will then return to the minibus for the drive back to the train station for your rail connections back home (expect to arrive in to London at around 9pm).
