Around Llyn Dinas

Start Location Car park GR SH 609 492 End Location as start Grading easy Facilities Nothing, but toilets, Shops and pubs in Beddgelert. Public Transport Sherpa buses to start point. GPS Files
Gentle stroll around one of the most beautiful and accessible small lakes of Eryri. If you want a longer walk, then you can start at Beddgelert instead, and perhaps extend the walk to visit Llyn Gwynant too.

1. Start from the car park as mentioned above. It's found on the left as you leave Beddgelert. If approaching from the opposite direction, I'll leave you to work that one out. Cross the road and through a kissing gate.

2. You are now on the lake, and follow this path for a short distance until you reach a footbridge over the Glaslyn. This has a gate on it, that had been left open when I was last there. Cross the bridge and keep to your left.

3. The path along the lake is now straightforward. You will need to cross a stream initially, and then either skirt the lake to the left, or take a path through the forest (right). The path is rather rough.

4. Following the path will bring you to a flatter section, which the path crosses, before a final path brings you into a farmyard (Llyndy Isaf). There are dogs here (just near the Farmhouse), that will bark loudly, but they are safley tethered.

5. Follow the track from the farm to the main road, passing past a barn to your left and then a field (sometimes has cattle in). When you meet the minor road, you turn left and then over a bridge. Left again brings you onto the main road.

6. Continue along the road, there is no pavement along some of it. You will no doubt notice the dire state of the lakeside. The shore is strewn with plastic bags and other rubbish, clearly suffering due to its proximity to the main road. The road will take you back to your car in 30 mins.
