Snowdonia
The impressive mountain landscape in Snowdonia National Park, around the highest mountain in the country, Mount Snowdon (1085 m), is characterized by rugged rock formations, deep gorges with old oak forests, gurgling streams, waterfalls and dark mountain lakes. High alpine mountain routes, climbing tours and easy hikes in impressive scenery make Snowdonia a walkers' paradise. The third-largest national park in Great Britain is about 2130km² in size and was established in 1951 as the first of three Welsh national parks. Seventy percent of the area belongs to private owners, but the national park authority is responsible for preserving the whole landscape.
Year of establishment: 1951
Area: 2139 km²

Tarrenhendre, Snowdonia (Feb) by Andy

Excellent route very quiet and lonely hills nice views of Cardigan Bay to the left from summit and Ynyslas beach to the right, the views across the wooded valley to Cadair Idris are incredible, was tempted to out and back to Tarren Y Gesail but there was no path just pure heather, probably safer to approach from the North as suggested by Tom, one thing to be aware of on this route at the very end as you head down to the Farm to join the road back to towards the village the farmer has put a private land no access sign on the gate however this isnt right and I am tempted to contact him to remove it, there was a tiny yapping dog on the other side and I had to jump over an easy wooden fence, once done you just turn left at the house and walk straight down the path to eventually retrace your steps back to the start

Took this route today(23.05.2023). The weather was perfect and the birds we singing with so many bluebells to smell around. Unfortunately the lake at top of the walk had no water due to a wall damage that was being repaired with great big machinery.
Hopefully next time it will be ready for fab views across the water.

Well the first part of the hike is spectacular at top but coming down was challenging and some scrambling. We tried heading above the lake but not easy to find path and very wet. Decided to head down to dam and then down to road back to car park.
Think we made right decision as saw the slope with tunnel was very steep and dangerous looking from bottom! Parts of it just falling apart. Route needs updating to not do it as far too dangerous.
