Discover the natural beauty of ancient Wales through the lesser explored mountains of The Rhinogydd – where winding trails and captivating tales as old as time await..

Feel the magic of walking in these timeless hills - where the only crowds you'll meet are flocks of sheep and wild mountain goats.

Meander along the paths of Cerrig Arthur and Bryn Cader Faner, where history whispers through the rocks and mist, and where the silence is only broken by the occasional jet streaking across the sky. The Rhinogydd is a place of untamed beauty, where ancient burial sites and Neolithic monuments guard the landscape.
