    If you enjoy scrambling, have no fear of heights and the weather is fine (and if you are not looking for lonely mountains), the Snowdon Horseshoe is the perfect route. At the information centre at Pen y Pass they will...

    Up the Pyg track and down the Miners Car parking is available at Pen-y-pass but this can fill up quickly, often by 9am, especially at weekends. Additional parking is available at Nant Peris but you would need to take ...

    The car can be parked in the pen-y-pass car park. The walk follows the Pyg track. After a while the path divides and we continued right towards the ridge. We followed the ridge up to Snowdon. After admiring the spectacu...

    The usual Snowdon Horseshoe route (albeit with a start/finish down at the Pen y Gwryd laybys to avoid extortionate parking fees at Pen y Pass!!) Quite possibly the finest ridge walk south of Scotland, with plenty of easy...
