We offer guided mountain walking and navigation training in Snowdonia on a daily basis.

Walks are led by Ray Hind a qualified Mountain Leader, who will select the best walks according to the abilities and wishes of the group. 

Abercelyn is ideally situated in Snowdonia for mountain-walking, there are three local mountain ranges (Arenig, Aran, Berwyn) readily accessible and other parts of Snowdonia are a short drive away. The local mountain ranges provide un-crowded walking over a variety of terrain, ranging from scenic valley walks to peaks approaching 3000 ft.

Other parts of Snowdon are easily accessible including classics such as the Nantlle Ridge, Snowdon Horseshoe, Bochlwyd Horseshoe and many more.

The following types of walks are offered:

• Scenic walks: typically 3 hours either relatively level walks or with ascent less than 2,000 ft (600 m)
• High-level walks: more strenuous walks typically 6-9 miles, 5-6 hours and ascending up to 3000 ft (900 m)

Of course, walks can be tailored to the group's wishes.
