Around the Rhinogs

61 km / 38 miles

Gwynedd
Although this circular walk does not venture onto any of the summits of the Rhinogs, some sections of the walk are fairly remote and arduous. It is essential therefore that anybody undertaking this walk should be fit, well equipped and have good map reading and compass skills. The route itself explores the fascinating and varied country that surrounds the Rhinogs, reputed to be the roughest and wildest mountain range in Snowdonia.
