Discover Secret Snowdonia
Walk quiet Mountains
When most people think about Snowdonia their thoughts turn to the three main ranges of the North, Snowdon, the Glyderau and the Carneddau. Within these ranges lies some of the best hillwalking and scrambling in Britain and they are becoming more popular with every passing year. Popularity, however, means more people on the hill and fewer opportunities to enjoy solitude and peace in the mountains.
Fortunately there are many areas and ranges within the national park which still offer the hillwalking experience as it was before the advent of social media. With my extensive knowledge and experience we can help you to get away from the hordes and immerse yourself in wild and ill-frequented places that will give you days to remember.
We can also provide bespoke hillwalking and Grade 1 scrambling days on any of the Snowdonia mountains should you have a 'bucket list' peak that you don't feel confident enough to try on your own.
Below are just some of the delights that await you on a ‘Discover Secret Snowdonia’ walk.
