Moel Hebog from the Nantle Ridge.

Moel Hebog

Moel Hebog is the highest summit in the immediate vicinity of Beddgelert and has numerous impressive cliffs lining the upper slopes.  Numerous rocky bluffs provide some opportunity for scrambling.  Whilst there take in the other summits on the ridge - Moel yr Ogof, Moel Lefn and Bwlch - y - ddwy - efor

Directions:- Extensive forests make access difficult from Beddgelert.  The forest tracks marked on the maps give more reliable access than the marked rights of way on the map.

Plas-y-Nant comment:- Bit of a slog, but worth it for the magnificent views from the ridge.

Nantle Ridge

The Nantle Ridge, though nowhere higher than 740m, lies to the south west of the Snowdon group and provides a wonderful easy ridge walk from Mynydd Graig Goch in the south all the way to the village of Rhyd Ddu (nice though expensive pub) in the Nant y Betws valley at its northern end. A well recommended days walk where you are unlikely to see anyone, even on a busy summer day

Directions:- From Plas-y-Nant, drive down the A4085 towards Beddgelert, and park at the village of Rhyd Ddu.  Follow the marked path up Mynedd Drws-y-coed.  The Nantle Ridge is then an easy walk along a series of summits to the south west - Trum Ddysgl, Mynedd Tal-y-mignedd, Craig Cwm Silyn, GArnedd Goch and ending at Mynedd Craig Goch - about 6 miles end-to-end so plan where you turn back for the car.

Plas-y-Nant comment:- Bit of a slog, but worth it for the magnificent views from the ridge.
